Muppet grammar grinch creeps into class

[mimitabby]

Two months ago I sent someone an email in which I accidentally wrote "to" when I meant "too." It was a pure typo, not an intentional misuse of the word, but I'm still embarrassed by it - even though I know the recipient knows that I know the difference.

we all saw that, Oakleaf, your friend forwarded that email along to the Grammar Hall of Infamy. Maybe some day we'll all be able to forget it.

Wow Mimi, you saw it too? It made the rounds in Missouri several weeks ago!

Typo on Diplomas Embarrasses Ohio Principal

A Cleveland-area principal says he's embarrassed his students got proof of their "educaiton" on their high school diplomas.

Westlake High School officials misspelled "education" on the diplomas distributed last weekend. It's been the subject of mockery on local radio.

Principal Timothy Freeman says he sent back the diplomas once to correct another error. When the diplomas came back, no one bothered to check things they thought were right the first time.

The publisher has reprinted the diplomas a second time and sent them to the 330 graduates.

LOL!!!

Our principal once wrote an blurb in the school news letter about lice that said something along the lines of "students would be checked by the pubic health nurse." And this was a pretty straight-laced principal...
