Clint,

You need to give us more information before anybody can help you.  Where are these words?  Are they in files the teacher has uploaded?  If so, then you will have to download the files and fix them, then re-upload them.  Are they in some of the text that has been added in the html editor?  If so, then you will have to be made a teacher of the course before you can fix them.  If you want to change some of the words that moodle uses, then you can look for the lang/en/moodle.php file and change them there.

Okay, as an English teacher I'd say you need to make sure that what you post is close-to-perfect in terms of spelling and grammar otherwise people might wonder if you're joking. I count at least five errors in your three sentences. I've got scripts that generate tests for students that write posts like yours.

;)


Look at these practice tests here: http://www.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar

Look over spelling, capitalization, and contraction; your posts speak volumes.

That said, I want to open up a dialog on bash scripts to create scripts that hunt down errrors and create tests from grammar errors like the one's above.

Examples:
sed 's/\sim\s/{=I'm#Proper contraction of the first person pronoun 'I'.}/'
sed 's/\si\s/{=I#First person pronoun I must be capitalized in English}

These are cloze like tests... not perfect, mind you, but the idea is at the heart of education. How do you make the individual accountable for their mistakes?

Sed scripts like these, though not perfect, nor tested, offer an easy way to generate grammar rule tests with relative ease. The scripts can be passed over student work before the teacher has to read these mind numbing errors... and the tests can be focused on the offender specifically. My personal goal is to make every student pay for their individual mistakes by having individual tests generated based on their prose... without consequence there is no motivation, at least in the States where social promotion is the norm and illiteracy is average.
