Pardon me, but I just can't stop myself from commenting. What 
exactly is a correct error? Can you make an error correct? If 
so, then I guess that would be a correct error, but somehow, I 
think it would be more appropriate to say something like:

rIn DuSaQ vaj ghojwI' Qagh vIQaghHa'moHta'.

Either that, or it would be fine to say {ghojwI' vIlughmoHta'}, 
since it is the students that one causes to be correct. One 
cannot cause an error to be correct, after all, since once it is 
correct, it is no longer an error. Right?

I mean, if you are going to pick nits, pick them well.
