Greatful......
A teacher once told me that is how you spell "grateful".
She said the way I spelled it was like if you grated cheese, which was incorrect.
Who is right? :)

you are correct to spell it this way... "grateful"... your teacher should take grating lessons so she will remember how to spell it correctly next time! LOL ... "teacher, go sit in the corner and grate some cheese!"

You can be grateful if you feel gratitude toward the person who has done you a favor. Greatful is just plain wrong, unless you're talking about the band.
My spell checker indicates that the first is correct and that is how my teacher taught me to spell it.
You might point it out to your teacher, or just leave a dictionary open to the page with a sticky note on the word, she might be grateful for the education. Unless you think it might grate on her nerves.

Your teacher is wrong. It's grateful being a quality of gratitude not greatness. Tell her to look in a dictionary.

You are correct. Grateful comes from the same root word as gratitude. It has nothing to do with cheese.

That teacher should be grateful she has a job, because she certainly can't hack it as a speller. Greatful is WRONG. And you can tell her I said so.
