As a St. John's alum you should know this. So you were correcting him for nothing. Whenever you hear people speaking about the school, they say Saint John's. The abbreviation isn't an official thing, it's just easier to spell. New Yorkers are notoriously lazy about such things. Either way is technically correct.
No it's not correct. Saint John's is a school in minnesota. We only go by St. John's. We are not lazy it's the name of our school. It is not "technically correct".
Is this what your diploma looks like?
Look at the bottom of your pic. St. John's. The degree is the only time they spell out Saint. Saint John's is a college in Minnesota well known for their long time coach who has like 700 wins or some such #.
It's St. John's and any former BE member should know that. The fact people don't just shows their own ignorance.
The bottom of the pic is the frame. The diploma only refers to the school as "Saint John's" and it does so twice.
So you're telling me that your diploma, if you have one, has the wrong school on it?
No. They just spelled out the name. It is St. John's. Thats the name of the school. S...t...J...o...h...n...'...s...
