Xkcd Diploma Legal Notes

I didn`t think Kate Middleton was doing something as elegant as the lightsaber, I thought she was a hockey player. Although she and William graduated from St. Andrews, I would have thought they were getting certificates, not diplomas. Charles and Eddie have Cambridge certificates. Northwestern may have awarded Meghan a degree. In any case, they tend to use real Sabres or polo mallets. — Arachrah (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~) The text of the title builds on the points regarding lightsabers and the British royal family, pointing out that some of the younger members of the royal family have already received their lightsabers, as they also have degrees. Therefore, you should wait at least 6-8 weeks for your lightsaber to arrive to have a fair chance as lightsabers are a very deadly weapon. Some of them can even handle the weapon. A special mention goes to Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, aka Kate Middleton, who is said to have been part of the lightsaber team at the University of St.

Andrews. I would delete something like “YOLO” or “Selfie”. only to see prescriptivists get angry when they hear on Facebook that it is added instantly. “6-8 weeks” could be a reference to StackOverflow/StackExchange: meta.stackexchange.com/a/19514/353011 Fabian42 (talk) 18:03, 31 May 2019 (UTC) I think I`d remove the word “gullible”, if only to give a weird twist to the classic joke “Did you know that “gullible” is not in the dictionary?” –Youforgotthisthing (talk) 14:56, 31 May 2019 (UTC). Remove the word, what was it called from the What was it called?. I would remove the word “word” so that other graduates can broaden the definition of their power to remove things from the dictionary. The following bibliographic text at the end of the first paragraph seemed unnecessary for the explanation, but I insert it here in case anyone might be interested in further reading: “The”. No one I`ve seen has been able to define it correctly anyway. While it is true that some degrees now confer professional privileges, in general, additional accreditation beyond the degree is required (bar passing, medical certification, etc.) to achieve something that most people would consider a privilege or right, or make a commitment. (The obligation to repay your student loans exists regardless of the end of your studies). A class of 2019 graduates, likely for a college or university, will receive rather unusual privileges for graduation. “The university will send you your working lightsaber within 6-8 weeks.” – Isn`t it true that doctors in Finland get a sword? –Phcc (talk) 16:34, 31 May 2019 (UTC) Why would waiting 6-8 weeks help challenge the British royal family for the throne? Admittedly, this only gives them more time to prepare.

Hawthorn (talk) 12:41, 31 May 2019 (UTC) To me, “functional lightsaber” means it`s not a toy or a model. YMMV RIIW – Ponder it (discuss) 31 May 2019 at 17:53 (UTC) It forbids others to delete a word. 172.68.226.116 17:38, 1 June 2019 (UTC). They meet ten hundred friends and subtract all words from the list of the ten hundred most common words. A common line in graduation ceremonies is: “Degree X is conferred with all the rights and privileges associated with it.” This dates back to the Roman Empire and continued through the rise of the university as an institution in the Middle Ages. In Roman times, the rights and privileges granted to physicians and scholars included exemption from certain civic duties and military service, immunity from certain taxes and unjustified summonses to court, and even the granting of a state salary. In the Middle Ages, rights generally mirrored those of ecclesiastical figures, encompassing civil law immunity (instead, scholars were subject to canon or canon law) and safe conduct on their journeys between jurisdictions. Can I please live in this universe? 172.69.69.250 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~) Personally, I think this comic shows how some graduates tend to behave in a self-proclaimed way, whether in the workplace or generally in public places. For example, interrupting other people`s conversations because “I`m qualified and you`re not.” 162.158.34.160 12:10, 1 June 2019 (UTC).

I would remove the word “it” 162.158.255.52 06:06, 3 June 2019 (UTC). Maximum chaos would be caused by removing the word “dictionary” from the. Um, what`s it called? Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 13:17, 3 June 2019 (UTC) “But what is a word? It is not defined. Nevertheless, our language contains many references to `speech` than any statement or chain of dialogue. I`d rather they send my lightsaber (re|er) in an extinct state. Much less agitation, damage to sorting/transporting/containment of mail equipment, injury to the various employees involved, etc. Probably also save postage costs for the package. (And, as I just mentioned, we might just bypass the spies at the palace sorting office if the packaging isn`t buzzing and shining.) 162.158.154.7 12:45, 31 May 2019 (UTC).

There are no restrictions on where the word should be in the dictionary. I would probably choose a word in the middle of a definition that ruins all its meaning, such as “not” from the definition of exaggeration: “exaggerated statements or statements that should not be taken literally”. ALL graduates could delete ONE word so that a single word disappears.
