M came up to me a couple of days ago with a printed sheet. "Mommy, look at this page that the printer printed". It was a test page the printer had printed after the print cartridges had been changed. It had a few color blocks and then a test print of all the alphanumeric characters on it. I was wondering what was so special about this page and why M wanted me to look at it. Then she said "I saw a bad word printed on it". My brain immediately went on an alert. Really? Bad words on a print test page? What has the world come to? Why are companies trying to influence our kids like this? What's next? Will they try to tell my kid which cereal to buy or what color Legos she should be playing with? Hmmm.... Wait!
....
Never mind.
Well, I didn't really think all that but yeah, I was still wondering where the "bad words" were when M showed me. There they were! Printed on a page and left lying around so an innocent 8 year old could stumble across the page and widen the range of her vocabulary. I saw the word too. It said
!@#$%^&*()_+
