The Brash Devil spent an inordinate amount of time working on his assignment, painfully aware of the time as it ticked on.
He worked slow at first, but as time went on he rushed to get it done.
It just needed to be done.
Who cares about the mistakes?
As long as he wasn't working on this anymore.
As long as people stopped glancing over.
Judging.
He knew they were judging and he just wanted this done.
Anyone looking at his paper could tell he wasn't practiced at writing in English. He could speak it as well as any devil, but reading and writing was another matter. Thus most of the mistakes were in the spelling. A few obvious one, though these weren't the only ones, were that:
-Since he is still learning, he defaults to writing in all caps like a child learning their letters and focusing on the uppercase ones.
-A difficulty with words that sound exactly alike as well as common mix-ups/spelling mistakes that even native English speakers make (there/their/they're, here/hear, through/threw)
-A difficulty with the silent E if it isn't to make a long vowel ("THEN WHY IS IT EVEN THERE?!") Similarly, often using the "silent E for long vowels" in situations that don't call for it (light=lite) or adding a silent E to a word that doesn't call for it (we=wee)
-Mixing the C with both K and S ("Why do you even have C as a thing if you have two other letters that do the same thing?! And why do you have words with BOTH C and K?!") As an aside, he is convinced you could replace "ch" with "kh" and remove "c" altogether; it's his biggest opinion on the written English language that he's developed while learning to read and write.
-Missing letters in words that require two letters together (all=al)
-A habit of completely forgetting certain spellings and attempting to spell them phonetically based on the spelling rules he does remember (chocolate=choklette because he remembers the "ette" suffix)
The long and short of it is that his work is full of misspellings. It isn't necessarily difficult to read, once you realize the situation and what his spelling mistakes were rooted in. What is important to note is the mistakes in the assignment's goal. Unfortunately, he was in such a rush to get this assignment over and done with that he stopped counting his words, which led to things like:
1. THERE AR FREE SAMPLS HERE 2. KLOSE THE DORE RITE NOW 3. LITE THAT WUDE FOR FIRE 4. STEME IS AL OVER THE PLACE 5. WEE NEDE MORE CHOKLETTE NOW 6. THERE KAT RAN AWAY TUDAY 7. THE MAN PADE TUE MUCH FOR IT 8. HE CAN HERE THE CRIES AND SCREMES 9. SHE NEW HE HAD THE PAPRS 10. THEY WENT THREW THE DORE
Once he was done (and soaked) he slammed his pencil down and silently glared down at his desk, nails digging into the surface. He refused to look up, teeth clenched as he waited for the inevitable humiliation.
