Big 3: Nicest Sounding Name?
#27
motuterry Wrote:Some may indeed feel that Thomas Edison sounds more "legit". That may be the reason why a degree mill, Thomas A Edison College selected the name. This scam managed to fool a great number of people who confused it with Thomas Edison State College.

TESC's full name is Thomas A Edison State College. I am guessing the diploma mill did not know that when they used the name. They obviously went beyond trying to sound like a real school and just completely hijacked their name. My AAS says "Thomas A Edison State College."

All of the justification about Excelsior being some New York state motto is nice and all but I don't think anyone outside of New York would realize that, but most people have heard of Thomas Edison. Moreover I don't think most people outside of NY would know or care what SUNY is or if their school sounded like it might be a part of the SUNY system.

This gets me going on a whole new tangent. No one but New Yorkers care about New York! I am so sick of every movie and TV show being based in New York City. People in other nations probably think that 90% of our population lives in that place. NY can keep its socialist, left wing, anti gun ridiculousness to itself. I agree with the earlier posters comments about SNL humor. The writers of that show need to realize that although they may consider non-New Yorkers to be uneducated cavemen we do in fact have televisions.

But I digress...

True story.
