[QUOTE="donna723, post: 280967, member: 1883"] When my son got his yearbook the year he was a senior, his friends wrote things in there that even embarassed [I]me[/I], and that's hard to do! To me, it kind of trashed his yearbook and it's certainly not something he will ever want to show to his kids someday. But it was his and he paid (a lot!) for it - I have no idea how much of the signing was done during the school day and how much was done after school. I can understand the schools point, but it will be almost impossible for them to police. How can they control what someone might write in there after school hours? Oh, and on the acronym that starts with "W" ... there is a funny story about that - Janet, you may get a chuckle out of this! One state (and I believe it was North Carolina) issues license plates with random 3-letter combinations and then several numbers. They made a whole series of license plates with [I]that[/I] particular 3-letter combination and issued them to hundreds of people! They didn't know that it was a frequently used acronym in texts, emails, etc. When they finally figured it out (some State officials kid told them), they offered to replace the offending license plates with different ones. Some people exchanged them but lots of people opted to keep them! If their license plates are manufactured in the prisons like ours are, I'll bet those inmates stamping them out were laughing their hineys off while they were making them! [/QUOTE]
