I want my edumacation June 12, 2008

OK, so this is a little dated.  But now, it will live in infamy.

Have you ever actually read your high school diploma?  All that calligraphy just bunches together, making the words nearly impossible to read.  But that’s still no excuse.

A school in Cleveland had this problem.  Yet they didn’t fix the glaring error before handing out diplomas to its 330 graduates — some congratulations on finishing a first-class educaiton.

At The Temple News, and even at SEPTA, we print out copies of publications for us to look at before sending them to print.  And this is a perfect example of why.

Pull out your high school diploma.  Or college diploma, for that matter.  Double check everything. It’s true.  Something’s probably spelled wrong.

By the way, did you know that aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at a Cmabrigde uinervtisy, it dseno’t mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
