Sounds perfect to me. In PAZ, there is war. The proofreaders (called "proofreaders" by the corresponding department) will deduct 0.1 points for spelling mistakes on the exams. Catalan, Spanish, and literature. With a limit, eh? 2 points. In foreign languages, up to 10% of the exercise will be deducted from written expression if the student is poor. In the remaining subjects, it seems that students will finally be penalized for spelling. We return, then, to what was said in October: that "coherence, grammatical and spelling accuracy, and the presentation of texts will be assessed, the discount of which can reach 10% of the total grade."
It's all very well that only mistakes in language and literature count. Nowadays, there are also chefs who don't know how to clean a fish and clothing designers who don't know how to sew. Is it important to know how to clean a fish if you're a cook and how to sew if you're a designer? Certainly not. But knowing how to clean fish if you're a cook and knowing how to sew if you're a designer is an intrinsic part of the curiosity that your work should arouse in you. "Why is this the way it is?" is what the intelligent professional must always ask themselves. And of course, in the end, every cook has a servant who cleans their fish, and every designer has a workshop of people who sew. But how could he not know this? How could he not have started, as a child, helping out around the house or playing "playing house"?
But I think that by setting an example of how little importance spelling has, we can do something. Let the university entrance exam questions contain mistakes. That way, we don't frustrate the poor students. Let's ask them about Hemmanuel Cant, about Jéguel, about Marsè Rudureda, and about Guiliam Sécspir. We're talking about Opus Dei, and if we're referring to the author of theOdyssey We pronounce his name as if we were talking about Mr. Simpson.
