Greetings, TIPsters! There's a related article, on avoidance of grading papers, on today's public section of the Chronicle for Higher Education web site: http://chronicle.com/jobs/2003/11/2003111801c.htm
One pet peeve I haven't seen mentioned: Students have completely lost the distinction between "less" (for things that can't realistically be counted, like dirt or water) and "fewer" (for countable things like marbles). Personally, the highlight/lowlight of one year's paper grading was the opportunity to write "This sentence no verb" in the margin of one paper...
