Having lived in China for a few years, I know it is common in foreign countries for classic English misspellings or poor interpretations like this in marketing material. Ironically, this often comes from uneducated Americans or part-time comedians charged with translations. For example, East China Normal University is one of China's most prestigious teaching universities. This isn't a misspelling; however, I am confident the school's President had a higher interest than 'Normal' when trying to promote the university to the Western World. Locals get a kick out of it.

No, who is going to take those EXAMNS?

FYI, in English, a "Normal School" is an old-fashioned term for a teaching college. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_school Arizona State University started life as a "Normal School". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of...University It sounds weird to modern ears, but it's not wrong.
