"Classes At Penn State Canceled Due To Snow" ... Is A Headline You'll Never Read

See yesterday's post. Add about two inches. That's what she said, ooooohwa!

I would have thought my scathing post yesterday would get someone in Old Main off their ass and do some plowing, but no it's just as bad - if not worse - than yesterday.

Btw, classes at Penn State Altoona are cancelled. I just need an effing day off.

I graduated from PSU main in 2004, and classes were actually canceled twice during my four years in State College. It does happen, my friend. You just need some ice. Posted 02/12/2008 08:34 AMReply

That's because AP style prefers "canceled" to "cancelled." Posted 02/12/2008 2:04 PMReply

Oh, also: "due to" should never be used to mean "because of." Posted 02/12/2008 2:06 PMReply

Just busting your balls, mang. "Cancelled" is a correct spelling, it's just not the preferred one for newspapers. Posted 02/12/2008 4:16 PMReply

Hey, Altoona even blogged about it. According to this chick the roads are downright "treterous".
