Yes, I've seen that too. My own daughter tried to hand a paper in like that a couple years ago. She was typing so fast and was in a rush to get it out of the way that she didn't realize what she put in the paper Thankfully, she does know it doesn't belong in an essay, AND she's wise enough to ask someone to proof read. Sadly, not a lot of kids do understand the difference.
