E-d-u-c-a-t-i-o-n

Westlake High School recently got embarrassed for misspelling the word "education" on the diplomas they were handing out to graduates. The principal took a lot of heat for it. All of the diplomas had to be redone for it.

Then, in today's (Cleveland) Plain Dealer, a Westlake grad of 1990, wrote to the editor saying that Westlake is a fine place to go to school and that his English classes prepared him for his career. This person said that basically the goof was blown out of proportion.

The first sentence of his letter goes like this: "Twelve academic years for a diploma on which is misspelled the word "education.""

I had to read that sentence over again to make sure I wasn't seeing things. That is exactly how it is in the paper. I'm hoping for his sake that the Plain Dealer goofed and not him.
