I don't see how it is useful.
a) The first instance of Berklee shows the full name, which isn't "University of California, Berk(lee|eley)".
b) It consistently says Berklee in the article, never Berkeley, so there's no confusion caused by inconsistency.
c) Your comment implies that the author is an idiot who can't even spell the name of the college he attended; which is impolite at best.
- sivers 15y agoIt's OK. It's a common confusion. My senior year (at Berklee) the company that prints up our report cards sent them to Berkeley California. Kind of an ongoing joke. ("Where did you go to school?" - "Berklee" - "Oh wow, that's really prestigious!" - "... College of Music." ".... oh.")
- personlurking 15y agoConversely, I was speaking with someone overseas and mentioned I used to live in Berkeley, California and his response was, "oh, so you play music?"
- aptwebapps 15y agoIsn't Berklee, in music, just as prestigious as Berkley in the rest of academia?
- sivers 15y agoArguably. ☺ It's famous. It's quite good these days. Back in 1987 when I was there many of the teachers were phoning it in. I wouldn't call it a great school back then.
