Oh, grading. It is inherently boring and generally not worth the few amusing answers. Though the other day I did get one saying the Mongols "were looking forward to conquering western Europe" that amused me far more than it should. Those far out number the times that the students make you want to cry for putting Europe in Alaska, Australia and New Zealand in Cuba, and the Mediterranean Sea where the Caribbean is. I've even had a few students get the United States wrong.
Grammar isn't one of my strengths, sadly, despite growing up on School House Rock. But I can teach it, and I do agree it's important.
