"Universtiy" an alternate spelling of "university"?

On a Facebook group, someone posted a picture of what appeared to be a misspelling of “university” on the spine of a book published by Cornell University.

Then someone replied, saying:

Could someone post more on this, as it is news to me, and I can’t find anything of it on Google.

It’s bullshit. Bullshit from beginning to end.

Or Bullshti, as we say in England.

Well then, I’m so glad I verified. I was thisclose to filing it in my mental lexicon of useless knowledge.

I prefer the term utter bollosck.

I think the printing was fcuk-up

Si

bollosck n. (obs.) a snail with a head cold.

Bluff

And clearly intended to be such. The writer probably figured that no one would be foolish enough to believe it.

Note that it’s actually the Cornell yearbook. Wonder if that got sent out to the students?

What the hell are they teaching Ivy League students these days?

Note my location.

Psst… you spelt “universtiy” wrong.

OK, this gets better. I just found the website for the yearbook in question. It looks as though they have had them reprinted, but I really hope that the person in charge of writing the website had nothing to do with the checking process!

:smack: :smack:

Me like sound of Cornell. That my kind of universtiy!

WTF? “Universtiy” is a perfectly cromulent word.

Do you mean Cronell?

I just found out now that the guy actually posts fake etymologies regularly on the photos in the group. I just saw several of his posts.

For example:

I was new to the group. :stuck_out_tongue:

Did you know that ‘group’ is actually a corruption of ‘grope’ - originally, the term related strictly to sex orgies, but gradually fell into use to describe assemblies of people meeting for other, non-sexual purposes.

The reason porpoises are dying out is held, in England, to be because they are non-sexual.

Come on now people. You’re either with us, or with the ignorance. :mad: :wink:
