Okay. So, I'd assume that most of the people reading this blog are in my GeoCon class, but you know what they say about assuming... That being said, if you are indeed in my class, you don't need to read this little thing telling you what my blog is about, for you already know why I'm writing this. If, by chance, you aren't in said class, this blog is just me writing about current events going on in the world. So yeah, that's about it. Please comment(:

School Misspells Its Own Name
Before the spelling correction.
After the spelling correction.
Sunrise Elementary School, in Texas changed its name to honor its first teacher, Mrs. Mary McMillan. Recently, a relative of the teacher, informed the school that when they changed the name, they misspelled it. They added an extra 'i' when changing the name... nine years ago. They spelled in Sunrise-McMillian, rather than McMillan. Sunrise-McMillan Elementary School is now attempting to fix all the misspellings. On everything from signs to logos, from business cards to the lettering on the building, to visitor passes to the embedded signatures on emails. Changing the error is proving to be costly, but the faculty is handling the situation with a 'balance of seriousness and humor'.
