Things that are guaranteed to make me smile #3

A week-and-a-half ago, I found it humorous that one of my students tried unsuccessfully to write the word succeeded.

Today, the same students struggled with guaranteed. In the margin of his quiz, he wrote:
garentee
garantee
garuntee
garunteed
garenteed
garunteed

Whatever, people misspell words all the time. I admit I'm not the greatest speller myself. But the main reason this kid's error was really funny to me was because the title of the quiz, written in big, bold letters at the top of the page, was Success Without a Guarantee
