I'm on the Yearbook Council at my school. I run things. Unfortunately, I've lost more than 50 points of IQ after editing all the Grad Comments. Almost all 300 of them had bad grammar, slang or gang references. We have to edit them and convert their crap into proper grammar, as well as about 400 something characters. I edited 99% of them over a week. I didn't get to sleep that week, not due to the work, but due to the horrible language.

Examples:
"ramember hoew moch ah larned n wot dis skool had ment 2 mey. Ah fel like al u guyz were a srot o bruterh 2 me. J/k. u r al kewl. 1337 4 lyf. Ey kno dat dis skewl haes prapergd mai meynd 4 da years ahed. Yo dis is ur bwai dog sngning off ^__^)"

This is ridiculous. At least that's over with. Now I've gotta deal with next year. Ignore the names. I'm sure you don't know these people. If you do... then... Woops. xd

It sounds like my school! Are you from Florida? Ugh.. stressed I'm on the newspaper, and we tried to do something like that one year, and it was just bad news. Now, I don't let anyone besides my staff have input in the paper.

Honestly, I would just leave them all like that. Then, when looking back on your yearbook in the future, you can laugh at all of the idiots who can't spell worth crap. And when they look at their copy of the yearbook, they'll be embarrassed at how stupid they were. And then people will laugh at them at the high school reunions. And their kids will make fun of them for dressing funny in high school and for not knowing how to spell "I." And their spouses will wonder why in hell they married these idiots in the first place.

Yay! 3nodding (Okay, maybe some of that was a little exaggerated...)

No, no; that was not at all exaggerated. That is a wonderful idea!

Unfortunately, the vice-principals don't like improper grammar. So we edited those nightmares. crying
