I&#x27;d disagree, completely. Its just shitty english grammer.<p>The notion that somone might not &quot;fit [a] mold&quot;, is a trivial comment. The implication that if someone mis-states this comment as saying someone might not &quot;fit [the] mold&quot; is simply the substitution of the definite for the indefinite article.<p>Put another way, there is no &quot;literal&quot; truth to the comment. There is not [a] mold; nor are there [any] molds that exist (in the literal sense) at any college. That whole expression is a figue of speech.<p>TLRD--this whole thing is about a fucking typo in an e-mail.
