Canadian High School English diploma

[nq:1]Someone is trying to tell me that Canadian High School diplomas mark split infinitives and prepositions at the end as ... as "It is I". The second seems plausible, but split infinitives and preps at the end? Can anyone confirm this?[/nq]

'High School Diploma' is used commonly here. In fact, I don't know of another noun to replace it. "High School Graduation Certificate". Would never be used. (I'm in Georgia for what it's worth).

[nq:1]Agreed. It doesn't sound right to me, though not wrong, just not right and I'm curious if it does to other people. Come to think of it, I wouldn't say "graduation diploma" either...[/nq]
