I wish I knew. Unless they're referring to the Leaving Cert. Or diploma courses. But they're two different things so that's no help.

Although, another favourite of mine is "So turn around you' baseball cap Cos these ten clues are where its at".

I mean, in the first instance, the last time I saw anyone wearing a baseball cap backwards was in Mrs. Doubtfire. I hope that's not where we're meant to be taking inspiration for next season's fashion trends from because it will be so hard to find hot guys everyone insists on wearing fat suits and cross-dressing.

Also, they left out the apostrophe in its. Educated.

I think there's something wrong with Cos too, but I can never remember what the proper way of writing that abbreviation is. Then again, I have no need to, because it is not a word that should ever need to be written.

All that from just 2 lines? This is better than leaving cert poetry!

'Cause the progression of study goes something like this: a cert after year 1, diploma after year 2, and a degree after year 3/4. Careers teachers often have a handy little 'step' diagram to illustrate this fact. *nods*

Ahh, you see, I miss out on little gems like those because my school's career guidance teacher is Spanish and DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT.

Ahem.

Channeled Book 5 Harry Potter for a moment there. Sorry.

It's the matching haircut, I swear! It has a mind of its own!

In future, I shall emphasise my anger by going really small. This should prevent any confusion between Scarface and I.
