Kids raised/schooled in an environment where incorrect spelling isn't
corrected, games aren't scored (to avoid making anyone feel bad) and
grade compression places almost every student on the honor roll would,
most likely, consider any rule or restriction draconian.
However, I am glad it's getting their attention. Maybe it'll save some
