Thanks Séimí though I have already spotted this. Though clearly the
point is I could claim to be Mickey Mouse he has noway of proving his
identity to me other than what banks or mobile phone companies find
acceptable. Drivers license or passport along with a utility bill from
the same address. Also the the person appears with those documents. If
I say hes a cat and he would have noway of proving he is not, very
smart for a cat not so much for a human being though.

After all how could an associate dean  make simple spelling mistakes
and make wild incorrect claims without even correcting them. Though
maybe thats why in student review one ex student says "I think Ohio
University (ME department) lacks the quality research and teachers.
Most of the research is of little importance and serves no other
purpose but to get a degree".

It would be funny though if everyone in Ohio University received a
link to this thread!


Even Ohio University uses "Due to" as a preposition.

"Dr. William A.T. Clark, Associate Dean of the Graduate School is the
primary contact for ETD Questions."

No, you didn't know the difference between Ohio University and The Ohio 
State University - that was the problem, and it was all yours. Now, you 
have NOT posted the web site, in my opinion because it does not exist 
outside your imagination. If it does, then post the URL and we can all 
look at it. Otherwise own up to the fact that this is a complete 
fabrication, and you have been caught in a lie. Why am I not surprised?

Fowler is probably spinning in his grave at the abuse you heap on the 
language.

I'm not sure you can prove that you actually live on this planet. 
Doesn't seem so from your ramblings.

Fine. Give me his name and (professional)  address, and I will be happy 
communicate with him and let him have all the information he needs. Done 
deal.

Otherwise just withdraw the claim and apologize. It's that easy.
