This might not be the proper forum, but this has been bugging me for two days now and I have to let it out.
I watched the premier of this season's Apprentice. The "book smarts" team named themselves "Magna," after magna cum laude.
The standard ranking of graduating honors starts with "cum laude" at the bottom, "magna cum laude" second, and "summa cum laude" at the top.
That puts "magna cum laude" as....second place.
They named themselves after second place.
AAAAARRRRGGGG! What maroons!
