We have an afterschool program held at school know as INTRAMURALS. The students sign up and for ten sessions they can basically have an extended phys ed period afterschool.
The rules are that once your parent signs you up, you must stay unless you have a note saying otherwise.
These notes prove to be very interesting based on the name of the program alone.
"Intramurals" becomes, most often "Intermurals". A common and understandable mistake. Inter- meaning between or within and Intra- meaning within or between. It does seem that they are interchangeable.
But the not-so-common mistakes are the funniest. Especially when the student comes up to the office to phone home to remind mom and/or dad that there are no......
instramurals today......
instramentals today........
and, yes, this week I heard......
no interrment today.
Then there are those who clearly know that they're going to get it wrong and just put down...
After School Sports.
That'll do.
