Radford University Misspells 'Virginia' On Diplomas Delivered To Recent Graduates

You've spent four years toiling at Radford University. You've doubled and triple-checked your papers to make sure you haven't made any small mistakes. You've utilized spellcheck in Microsoft Word to ensure your work is free of spelling errors. Unfortunately, your university did not do the same.

Diplomas recently issued to Radford University graduates misspelled the word "Virginia," according to ABC News.

The faulty diplomas were brought to light by a Reddit user Tuesday, DCist noted, who posted a picture of a diploma with the misspelled word. On the diploma, the word "Virginia" is missing the final "i," turning the name of the commonwealth, much to the joy of male teenagers everywhere, into "Virgina."

A total of 1,481 undergraduate and graduate diplomas were misspelled, dating back to diplomas issued in the fall of 2012 up to the recent spring 2013 graduates.

1. Is are children lerning?

Yep. They're learning that those diplomas will probably bring in a few hundred bucks on eBay. Which might cover part of the increase in interest rates their college loans will now cost them.

3. When I graduated fromt the University of Wisconsin Madison in 1988, some of the

diplomas spelled Wisconsin wrong.

It makes me wonder if it's a little sabotage from someone at the printing company.

How humiliating--it's not like they're a fly-by-night joint, they've been around for over a hundred years.
