It seems that many -- perhaps most -- people say "graduate(d) college" or "graduate(d) high school." When they do so (by omitting the grammatically essential word "from"), they are dead wrong.
Schools graduate students, not the other way around. Without "from," the statement turns things upside down. It's a simple matter of how transitive or intransitive verbs work.
If you have indeed graduated from college, or from high school, say so -- and thus avoid sounding illiterate.
Any comments? Go!
