Please add the second e when referring to Ohio State.

If the "ou" part of your handle refers to The Ohio University, I feel saddened that you posted a pic that can't even spell "journalist" properly, considering that Scripps is one of the more highly regarded schools in that field.ou1980 wrote:

I'm not referring to the title of the school, I'm referring to the excessive emphasis on the word "THE". There are plenty of schools out there whose titles begin with "the", and only one emphasizes it. And again, that started in 1986.dat dude wrote: Wrong, wrong, wrong.

yeah you had to go back a page to where it establishes the school or whatever. 3335.01 just dealt with the name.LJ wrote:Huh?Glory Days wrote:haha the title of ORC 3335 says "Ohio State University".dat dude wrote:Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Edit: Oh I see it. With all the typos in that section it doesn't really surprise me.
Sure, here's something from the actual university website.LJ wrote: Source that people have only used "The" since 1986?
In 1986, a new University logo was introduced in the hopes of moving away from the "OSU" symbol, which had been used since 1977. The change from simply "OSU" was said to "reflect the national stature of the institution." University officials wanted the institution to be known as "The Ohio State University," again, since OSU could also mean Oregon State and Oklahoma State University.
You are using them changing an 9 year old logo as your proof?NNN wrote:Sure, here's something from the actual university website.LJ wrote: Source that people have only used "The" since 1986?
