<p>Best favorite word ever: Hungry.</p>
<p>I think that favorite words don't tell that much, Mine was really random, I forget what it was. It was just a word that sounded cool. I really don't have a favorite word.</p>
<p>Awesome .</p>
<p>njstudent -- We don't have an official layout editor, but I'm the editor of the News & Features section, photography editor, and unofficial copyeditor (also known as "one of the two people on the staff who know enough about grammar and style to do the job" ;)).</p>
<p>Hahaha. "One of two people on the staff..." Our school newspaper is pretty terrible. When I was a freshman, it was really amazing and everybody got so excited when it came out and nowadays it's pretty much used as something to fill the recycling bins with.</p>
<p>our newspaper is supposedly really good. it wins competitions I guess. It looks nice, but most of the time the content is lacking. A lot of it is really repetative (like multiple stories on the same topic) or completely pointless. I'm not at all involved with it, because we have a newspaper class, which has a pre-rec, and I did not take either.</p>
<p>Ours used to be hilarious, like...laugh out loud, the administration is going to be very upset, this is almost crossing the line, no, this is crossing the line, did you see the back page of the newspaper, etc.?</p>
<p>But alas. Times change.</p>
<p>Ours is actually pretty good -- we win awards for it on a yearly basis -- but no one really bothers to learn the style rules, which is an enormous hassle for me, my friend, and one of our advisors, since we constantly have to correct them (the other advisor is more of a computer guy). It looks very traditional -- mostly text, black and white pictures, no fancy layout tricks -- with an irreverent, poking-fun-at-the-administration, sometimes risque, is-this-honestly-the-same-paper? Backpage (yes, it's called "The Backpage," and it's all anyone ever reads).</p>
<p>I just wish my school had actually had a newspaper (bit late for that now, I suppose, since I've graduated and all). All we had was a complete rag of a bi-annual newsletter, which simply crammed students' achievements over the last six months (and this is a K-12 school, mind you) into two pages. What fun. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I put "Hope." (you'd get it if you read my essay)</p>
<p>That's neat.
I realize I'm 2 away from more than 100 posts in a single day.
Haha, I'm so ridiculous.</p>
<p>I don't know what I put. Lemme go check</p>
<p>I too put down "yes".</p>
<p>All this newspaper talk is getting me excited! I <3 the newspaper. Anyways, cameliasinensis, is your newspaper by any chance "The Remarker"? I have a whole stack of newspapers in my room from newspaper conventions. When you mentioned the last page actually being called the "backpage," I new exactly what newspaper you might be talking about. If so, I actually thought the layout was pretty cool in the issue I have.</p>
<p>No, actually, it's called The International Dateline. (because we're an international school... yeah.)</p>
<p>Alacrity all the way.</p>
<p>Mine was Eternity</p>
<p>Mine was ronronner-- it's French for "to purr" or "to hum"</p>
<p>Surprised no one put "accepted"...</p>
<p>I, too, went with a Stephen Colbert gem, factinista....</p>
<p>I put infarct.</p>
