Kurt Linberg: Spelling Bee Champion!
In addition to hiring instructors who
buy their doctorates from diploma mills, Capella University must also pride itself in hiring
administrators who exhibit exemplary skills in basics such as writing
ability. Take Kurt Linberg for example - he was recently promoted
to the position of "Executive Director" for not one, but
two different "schools." We wonder how many other universities
have one person serve as the "dean" for more than one
school? Impressive, to say the least! Equally impressive is Linberg's
astute spelling ability - no wonder Capella promoted him!
Site, sight, cite?
As already noted, it's not asking a lot (sorry, Kurt, but "a
lot" is not a compound word) for the Dean of a "School"
of Technology to be able to spell a few very simple words - especially
when those words should be part of the lexicon of anyone enrolled
in such a "school!" Until very recently, Kurt Linberg
had a web site located at:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/linberg/
He created a portion of that sight cite
site as part of his doctoral program at the esteemed Walden University.
Sadly, after nearly seven (7) years on the web, he took
it down (Spring 2005) and it is no longer available for
viewing. Just the same, we've kept a copy because, we believe,
it displays what a great roll role model
he is for Capella
students learners. We're certain that all
prospective Capella students learners
will enjoy the following examples!
Isn't this "Sic!"
The excerpt, listed below, was originally
posted at:

We've added a couple of sics just for fun and have
left the horrendous punctuation as originally posted. The last
two links have also been changed to point back to this page.

What a Site Cite Sight (Oh, Heck!)
This example was originally located
at:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/linberg/c3.html
As the document displayed below was created with the utmost
care, we've decided to present just a portion for your viewing
pleasure - no need to show the whole thing. At least we've
decided to sight site cite
our source!

Prospective Capella University students
learners wishing to enroll in the "School" of Technology
will be pleased to discover that they'll be required to take a
writing class as one of their first courses: one of their first
assignments will be to critique a web site for spelling, grammar,
punctuation, etc. It's too bad that Kurt Linberg has removed his
web sight [sic] as it would have provided a lot of fodder for
so many students!
