ABCD....R....N....What?

A county in Maryland reportedly distributed thousands of misspelled diplomas to their graduating class.  According to reports, "National Quality Products, the Fairfax County vendor that printed the nearly 8,000 diplomas, has apologized for the gaffe, along with school officials."

A schools spokesman Briant Coleman said that the vendor will have to "reprint the diplomas at no additional cost."  The county paid slightly over $15,000 for the diplomas the first time and an estimated $6500 more for other certificates and shipping costs.  

Graduating senior Terrance Odem said that he was "really excited to have gotten his diploma but was really disappointed that he had to wait to get the real one."
