Graduating students at New York middle school received misspelled diplomas featuring the word 'departmemt'
**SNIP**
The misspelled word appeared in the phrase 'New York City Department of Education' positioned at the top of the diplomas awarded to the students. The word had an extra 'm' instead of the letter 'n'.
'I'm sure next year they will be pouring over those diplomas to make sure every "i" is dotted and "t" is crossed,' Gardner told Fox 5.
Another parent told the station that the Upper East Side school did not mention the mistake or issue an apology during the ceremony.

They should be pouring "White Out" over the article as soon as they realize they should have used the word "poring".

Spelling, like grammar, is simply a matter of racist opinion by the oppressors.

You’re obviously stuck in dead white male patriarchal racism. Words must have the freedom to be misspelled so that they can be politically correct.

“Poring,” not “pouring.”

Right you are, but this is probably on Fox's transcription, not the educrat's literacy.

Correcting it would be a microagression.

While not the fault of Illinois Central College (I.C.C.) The Illinois Highway Dept. had a directional sign to I.C.C. College
After a gazillion complaints, the highway dept. changed the sign.

It was a pop quiz to make sure the graduates knew their spelling.

Poring, not pouring.
I totally did not know that!
You really do learn something new every day.
