Some Professors Need to Learn the Language

I'd like to think that we attend a pretty highly credited University. But every now and again I wonder about that--when I have to correct the grammar and spelling of my own professors.

I was sitting in my Psychology 250 lecture (Personality Psychology) learning about how you can learn a lot about a person from the way his or her office or bedroom looks. My professor then began to talk to us about how social networking Web sites offer the same information. He was using power point slides during his lecture and as he made each of his points, he moved from slide to slide. The title of each slide in this section read: "websites." First of all, you at least know it's in the form of a title, so capitalize it already. Secondly, look it up. It's two words. If I have to be tested on this over and over again, should those people providing me with an education know this stuff too?

Secondly, I was working on a study guide for my Latin American history exam that I took this morning and my professor used the words "examplify" and "towards" in the same sentence. There is no "a" in exemplify and it's toward. No "s". And yet this guy is grading my exam?

Granted, both the professors I have mentioned don't have a strong emphasis of language in their background. But all of the above examples that I gave are quite common words and would give professors a lot more credibility (at least with me) if they took the time to look up the proper usage and spelling before attempting to use them in a sentence or in a lecture.
