A student of mine recently got marked off a couple of points for some grammatical errors on his paper. He told me the reason why he didn't have semicolons.
The semicolons were missing because the semicolon key on the computer was broken. The key was broken because the cat threw up on the computer.
I like good vivid reasons for grammatical errors.

Lol...... that's hilarious! I hear the same old excuses all the time, I'd love to hear some fresh and creative ones like that!! :)
No kidding. I think we should tell students that if their excuse is interesting enough they might actually not suffer any consequences.
