HAHAHAHA! Really?! Didn't realise that. I don't suppose it says what final grade she got?

Of course not. Still, the fact that an University would give her a degree in English literature is amazing, considering the quality (or lack therefore) of her writing.

An English Literature degree isn't a degree in creative writing, it is a degree in the analysis and understanding of other authors' writing.

I beleive that this is her major: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_major

Quote: The English Major (alternatively "English concentration," "B.A. in English") is a term for an undergraduate university degree in the United States and a few other countries which focuses on the analysis, production, and consumption of texts in the English language (the term may also be used to describe a student who is concentrating in English).

And even if her major didn't include her learning how to actually write, you'd think that someone who has the skills to analize and understand an author's work could realise they're writing crap.
