Guy Has Either 33 or 108 Doctorate Degrees (Allegedly)

"University of Azteca" doesn´t even make grammatical sense

And of course, they wouldn´t have a "PhD in hinduism", they only have a Doctorate in Education.

To me, this "University of" is just regular offbeat South Asian English. I wouldn't read anything else into it. Satyanarayana's story has holes enough without it. I'm positive there are schools on that list he never even saw - and some he never took a single course from - distance or in person. Some of those schools did not require coursework. Payment was enough. I think some may be "flights of fancy," too. I'd really like to see that degree from Stanford. Maybe Stanford would like to see it, too.... 

Plenty of universities in the UK are 'universities of...' Or are you just talking about when someone says 'university of' when it should be '.. university'.

Can't speak for MrPanda. I'm referring to the University of vs. University. That's no big thing to me. India has developed its own brand of English and I don't have a problem with that. It's everywhere, there.

I´m referring to the problem that "Azteca" it´s like saying "Peruvian", "French" or "Incan".

You wouldn´t say "University of Peruvian", for example.

I got corrected once for calling University of the People UoP in an email to an advisor. Wrong abbreviation- it's for University of Phoenix. Woops!

Many people do the same.

Seems like most people on here call it UofP. Just a shorthand thing. Their heads must explode.

Which was the correct way to call my university, by the way?
