You must live in a totally different part of the country as I. Here if you don't go along with what the parent want's next thing you know you're either being sued or have a gun to your head from said parent. Or at least a lot of yelling. Whenever a kid here gets a low grade the parents come in ranting and raving at the teacher as if it were the teacher's fault.

We regularly mention that manufacturers call their products the wrong things thinking they will sell better.
I wish they would stop.

My
sedan that I drive, the Avalon, has been replaced by the Crown that some are calling an
SUV. It might be an
SUVified sedan. But the Crown still is pretty sedan-like. But still, very confusing.
My brother and wife call their gianormous 8-passenger SUV "the car."
