The Benefits Of Higher Educaiton

I keep coming across this article by the Associated Press, which surfaced a few days ago:

“Westlake High School officials misspelled “education” on the diplomas distributed at graduation.” – Daily News

Apparently, the officials of Westlake High School accidentally printed “educaiton” on the diplomas.

I often wonder why people feel the need to say someone misspelled something when clearly it is a case of an accidental typo. And yet you hear this stuff constantly when someone misplaces a single letter on a print-out. “It’s been the subject of mockery on local radio,” they say.

I mean, sure, it’s funny. It’s ironic. But let’s call it like it is.

I agree. It really irritates me when obvious mistyping or misprinting is equated with a spelling mistake.,or lack of knowledge of spelling!
