similarly, I am afraid that twelfth should not be twelth, because that loses the fact that it comes from twelve. And no, I'm not going to argu aboot it.

Mr Smith, a criminology lecturer, said: "Instead of complaining about the state of the education system as we correct the same mistakes year after year, I've got a better idea.

"University teachers should simply accept as variant spellings those words our students most commonly misspell.

Think of the increase in pass rates.
