Principal misspells "education" on diplomas...
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

"Since the creation of the Internet, the Earth's rotation has been fueled, primarily, by the collective spinning of English teachers in their graves."

Seeing as how you misspelled "grammar" I find that statement amusing and therefore true. XD

You have to find something amusing to find it to be true? XD

As for the article, wow. I haven't seen a typo that funny since the WVU team wore shirts that had 'West Virginia' spelled incorrectly on them.

Yesterday I got my certificate of achievement for university last year. They spelt my last name and "mathematical" wrong.

Huh. That level of copy-editing is acceptable for, say, a forum post, but I'm surprised no one read over a diploma carefully.
