Cue about 100 epic fail pics.

They should use spel chekc.

So they're being mocked because of a typo that, at first glance, seems right?

Sounds about right.

Actually you work 3-4 years for your high school diploma. And assuming you are not funcitonally retarded you can replace work with show up to school.

EPOCH PHIAL!

FIAL!

FILA!

Who cares? Really? Just a typo.. I swear anything and everything get greenlit these days..

Transposed letters. Meh, big deal.

Holden Caulfield: Who cares? Really? Just a typo.. I swear anything and everything get greenlit these days..

Wait, so the fact that a school is handing out the completion of 13 years of work. And they can't spend the time to make sure everything is spelled right. Heck you could easily make an argument that everything they do is aimed directly at that moment.

So yes it is important. I know I kept both of my diplomas and I'm sure most other people did too. So I would say a keepsake as crucial as a diploma would be spell checked enough to ensure that it has no problems.

/two diplomas... HS and Penn State.

Typo. They replaced it. Boo-hoo. I guess you want the students to sue for emotional damages that their precious keepsakes had to be replaced?
Who the hell called CNN on this one?

FriarReb98: That's okay, my college sent out diplomas with the wrong date on them (they forgot to change it from the year before). Not sure if it's just on the B.A.'s or all 1500 diplomas or not....

I for one would've loved to have a diploma which included a graded thesis on anything related to time travel, where the thesis was stated to have been submitted a year after the diploma was supposedly issued.

Of course, chance never sees to thing like that happening.

Seems right?

The people who work in education administration are failures of the education system.

My husband's former job gave him a nice appreciation plaque, but they spelled his name wrong. You'd think someone would check these things.

All staff please report to detention for the entire month of July.

You konw, it's mispselled, I see taht. But realisticlaly, it was probalby just soemone typnig too fast and asusming that they were rihgt, like the other 9000 tiems they did it (expect for the first time the school oredred them); a simple mitsake.

/Educaishun would have been more embarassing.

Holden Caulfield: Who cares? Really? Just a typo.. I swear anything and everything get greenlit these days..

I care. I love petty little stories like this. Quit being such a killjoy, cnutface.

I, for one, could qive a shiat.

/two diplomas... HS and Penn State.

What I mean is that no SHIAT the high school is going to reprint them. It takes maybe max a week to reprint them diplomas, and another week to mail them all out to all the high school graduates.. and then that's it, problem solved. Big deal.

Now if the school refused to print out new ones or couldn't then I could see how this "news" article would be interesting, but it ain't.

/Penn State? So now you have like two high school diplomas, if you know what I mean, hah!

uttertosh, whoa whoa WHOA there internet tough guy.. so easy to throw insults around on the internet. Be honest, what are the chances of you saying something like that to someone's face? But congrats, you sure do have big internet balls, tough guy.

See, now that's a typo. I hate when people call their misuse of "there/their/they're" or "your/you're" a typo. No, that's you being stupid. A typo is an error caused during typing, not thinking.

I Don't Appreciate Your Ruse: A typo is an error caused during typing, not thinking.

THIS...1000 times THIS

whether it was a typo or not, it's sad so little care was taken as to have this go through. And I mean the farked up diplomas, not the greenlight

/ohbligatorie

I Don't Appreciate Your Ruse: A typo is an error caused during typing, not thinking.

No, this is an error caused by carelessness and not double checking your work. No excuse.

They had to reprint some down here because the "signatures" on them were from admin staff who'd retired. No biggie but then I saw the student interviews:

"It don't matter no-how, we's graduatin' anyhow."

/Guess English isn't a requirement for a HS diploma anymore

Measure twice, cut once.

I wuold nevar make a mitsook that bad!

Graduating high school is now considered an achievement? You're SUPPOSED to graduate from high school.

Quick!
Somebody make a typo on purpose in their comment about how they would never do that!
Hurry! Before someone else does it! It's gonna be hysterical!

6502programmer: kwame: Where are all the home schoolers blathering on about how this is why they self-educate?

And, more importantly, the home schooled wife...

It's been a while since I've seen that toothy biatch. Thank you!

There's a simple explanation for this. People are stupid, and they can't read.

F.R.E.E. that spells free



See, some people can spell.

Did anyone get a "pocket diploma" along with the regular diploma as well? It was a longish while ago, but it was literally a library card with my high school diploma on it, all laminated. It was very useful for all those occasions that I had to whip it out to prove I had graduated HS. Maybe my school was the only one taken in by this lunacy.

My ex had one of those

I forgot about those! I got one too, but I never could figure out what it was for. Nobody's ever asked me for mine, and I've never found myself in a situation where it was necessary to pull out a small card proving I graduating from high school.

GilRuiz1: ...proving I graduating graduated from high school.

Sorry, pet peeve.

/too lazy to post Pink Floyd reference
//someone do ti for me

Beth C: Maybe my school was the only one taken in by this lunacy.

Nope. I got one, and I went to a Jesuit high school.

/One of only four national merit scholarship winners
//Likely also in the bottom four of the class for GPA

hahah. What are you doing so wrong that people ask for proof that you graduated from HS?
