Not your OWN country!

While checking my students' papers, I was boggled by the fact that a college student can actually spell his own country incorrectly. There were four items they had to explain. When I read this student's explanation on item #1 and saw the error, I thought that it was an honest mistake. But he committed the same error in item #s 2-4! I was like "WTF! A college student doesn't know how to spell his own country correctly?!"

Did no one care enough before to teach him this? Was he taught but he did not care enough?
