While the average man on the street may be excused for making such a blunder, professionals trained in the use of a certain language cannot. They are expected to maintain the highest standards in using that language. This is the reason school children are encouraged to read newspapers in order to improve their language skills.... because a newspaper is expected to have the highest standard of language. But when journalists start using such words as "dateline" instead of "deadline" and "incidence" instead of "incidents", then they must be reprimanded for misleading the public.

Once you have a degree, you are no longer an undergraduate! Perhaps the writer meant undergraduate STUDIES Good point; however should you take 'degree' to be an uncountable noun, then the said writer's 'undergraduate degree' holds good.

No. No. No. A degree is what you get after graduating. An undergraduate is a person who is still studying for his/her first degree. Therefore, there is no such thing as an undergraduate degree!

'No' x3 isn't enough I'm afraid. You still have to show why you disagree. Undergrad (noun) = student; undergrad (adj) = 'relates to undergrads'. Undergraduate degree therefore = the degree that relates to undergrads. Therefore there is such a thing as undergraduate degree!

How can you have 17B revenue but 12B profits? Its highly possible especially if you are selling Goldenburg gold bars.
