Things that make me bang my head against my desk

This week's practice test has a mistake in its wording. The essay topic says "Is great knowledgeable necessary before one sets out to challenge the conventional ideas about the subject?"

So, I went to the boss and alerted him to the error, along with another typo elsewhere, and then I forgot about it. (well there's your problem)

This morning the test was written and during my lunch break I start to mark the essays. The first one has doozies like "Before Galileo proved the earth is a sphere, there was the great knowledgeable that the earth is flat and it doesn't seem to be change." the use of knowledgeable instead of knowledge continues throughout the essay.
Sigh.
