" Typo on diplomas embarrasses Ohio principal"
Times Union (New York State) (June 6, 2008)

"WESTLAKE, Ohio -- 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...."

'Third time's the charm,' I suppose. I'm glad I'm not the owner of that print shop. In fairness, mistakes happen: I've worked with the same print shop for well over a decade, getting an 11-months-a-year bulletin printed, with only one foul-up. Oddly, that time they got the job done right the third time, too.
