<p>Being a business professional I always proof read whatever I write. I use spell checker and grammar checker. In business your professionalism is judged by how and what you write.</p>
<p>We just printed my son's letter from NU that states what his award would be. Obviously someone did not proof this letter. The last sentence in the 2nd paragraph states " ...access to a Northeastern education.education. </p>
<p>I don't think that it is a good sign that in such an important letter there is error. It is not professional. It was signed by Philomena Mantella, Ph.D.</p>
<p>what’s the point of this thread?
you’re telling people not to go to this school because of a typo in an admissions letter or you’re telling us your son’s not choosing northeastern because of this typo?
get over it.</p>
<p>I notice typos and signs that have incorrect spellings frequently…and crooked frames hanging on walls. I have to let it go ( or straightern the frame )
I hav bben know to maek my share of tyops to</p>
<p>eh, some secretary wrote it and stamped the signature on it. </p>
<p>If it had been a typo like “Congratulations on you’re acceptance”, then maybe that’d be different. But education.education. just means they didn’t proof it as well as they should have, and not that they’re total idiots.</p>
<p>Looks to me like someone was editing the letter, got called away for a bit, then didn’t notice the mistake before printing/sending. I’ve done that. :-(</p>
<p>Eh. Editing my school’s newspaper has really increased my annoyance at typos like this…I agree, inmyday, it’s very unprofessional. I mean, if students spend days proofreading essays and other college documents, the least that colleges can do is proofread the letters that they send, too. But all the same, something petty like this would not affect my decision to attend a college in any way!</p>
