Do THE Ohio State University alums realize how ridiculous they sound?

| Little makes me cringe harder than some hack introducing himself as an alum of THE Ohio State University. They're really impressed with their 70,000 student diploma mill. |

It's certainly not a diploma mill, but yes, I agree that "THE" is irritating.
...And I generally like people who show a bit too much school spirit. |

| HA I always wonder the same. When people say THE U, it's even worse. |

| They sound like carnival barkers to me. "Step right up, folks, to THE Ohio State University!" |

| I'm married to an OSU grad and it's basically an inside joke to annoy people like you lol. |

No, it's not. They're dead serious. |

| Ohio State or OSU are both okay as informal substitutions, according to the school brand handbook. No lie. It's actually the opposite of a diploma mill too. That's our secret though. Go Bucks! |

| If they choose to emphasize their attendance at a mediocre-minus school that’s their problem—not yours., |

Haha, no they're not. I actually love how it annoys people who take jokes too seriously. I have an Ivy degree and the best way to weed out stuck up people is to watch them interact with our Ohio State friends. |

NP, and yes it is (OSU Alum). I've never met anyone who was serious about using the "The." |

They are the ones that started it and it is fine, what is bad is other schools who say it.
