Love Note

Bannanas [sic] are good
Apples are better
if u realy [sic] like me
please answer my letter

This confiscated note led to the annual mini-lesson on spelling *"banana" correctly. When I ask a class how they spell banana, it's almost always a 50/50 split between the double n and the correct spelling. Why is that?




*...because, you know, you never know when one's object of affection will reject the love poem due to poor spelling. I would.
