Ucsd:
We were privy to recs as well, and one rec, the teacher had obvoiously used her boilerplate formulatic rec and mostly just changed the names (how lazy) and throughout the text she changed the name to my D’s name but one time, she left in another girl’s name. We didn’t use that rec as it was an ineffectual rec.

The OP is in a different situation as she wasn’t supposed to see the rec. I think the way the teacher used the word, it is pretty obvious, like it was to the OP as well, that it is a misspelling since the context is about him being hard working and she doesn’t explain anything contentious about him. So, think of it as a typo in this context.
