While riding home from work on the T today I spotted an ad for Suffolk University with the tagline "No goal is insurmountable if you take the right route". I considered pulling out a pen and replacing "insurmountable" with "unattainable", but I didn't have a sharpie, and it seemed like overkill. Still, a university should know better. Not saying a lot about themselves, are they?
Fast forward a few hours: on the way home from Shrek the Third, Erica pointed over my shoulder and said "do you agree with the edits to that ad"? Someone else had pulled out their pen and done what I had failed to do, with the annotation "to surmount is to climb over". My thoughts exactly.
