Buggify is just a few functions short of being a great tool for generating grammar/spelling errors. Instead of causing bugs to appear in programs, Buggify could be adapted to use for the purpose of learning to proof read and edit regular essays/paragraphs. Imagine a teacher using the same file but generating 50 unique worksheets/exams for all the students with their own unique answer key. It would make cheating far more difficult.
Some example grammar bugs:
- remove "." from the end of the sentence and make the next word lowercase to create run on sentences.
- replacing a with an, were with was, its with it's
- switching around two words
- taking out "ing" from words
- removing commas, or adding too many commas
- switching around they're, their, there
- I vs me

If we decide to do this, we'll probably have to split it up into a few sub-issues. This is mainly for the overview/discussion.
