I don't think a simple mistake like that would have them lynched by a group of rowdy dons. I've made a few silly mistakes in my essays, such as referring to the collective group of barons as 'barony', which is the land a baron holds, rather than the correct term 'baronage', in an essay on the Magna Carta (and therefore repeated the term about a thousand times). It didn't raise a mention in my supervision at all, simply a correction on the essay. I doubt they care about these things as much as you assume.


Oh, I grant you that as an undergraduate; but at the admittance stage? I wouldn't be so sure: personal statements, I think, provide an exception to the rule.

Though if someone thought that was harsh criticism, perhaps they should reassess attending an institution where you will be continually told just how wrong you are by some of the most pre-eminent (to borrow a term) academics in your field.


Well, quite.
