I'm currently grading the booklets and extra credit from the 7th Grade Science, Genetics unit (about three weeks late, but there you go). I just finished scoring a young lady's booklet who made an innocent, I'm sure, spelling mistake, which mistakes are certainly not uncommon for 7th graders. When I taught English, years ago, it was surprisingly common to see the word "graj," meant to indicate "garage." The mistake I found today, however, has a bit more resonance. On a page of class work focusing on the topic of meiosis, this young lady mistakenly spelled the male sex cell not "sperm," but "spurn." Freudians, unite!
