Another Reason to Homeschool.

I will not longer be using the acronym for “Another Reason to Homeschool” because a poster(s) just might have their mind in the gutter and find some pornographic meaning in it.

My recommendation to all Freepers is to never use acronyms because a Freeper with an opposing point of view will likely find an internet based dictionary that will define it as pornography. They will then run to the moderators in an effort to have one banned.

When you say stupid/ ignorant/ just plain wrong things, we will call you on them.

It is not really a good idea to use any word or acronym that is likely to be unfamiliar to your audience, with certain narrow exceptions. It is incumbent on the author to convey his thoughts clearly and unambiguously.

English are a remarkably expressive and precise language. It even has words for authors who blame their audience for not comprehending their message.
