[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gunner, [b]striver[/b] and try hard have different meanings and words are used to describe people, places and things. Not everything is positive.[/quote] not sure. we banned that one around here awhile back when a few folks perceived it was a proxy for a certain group of people, when I took it to mean "one who strives" (which is a good thing). But go figure. [/quote] Nobody banned striver. It’s been used incorrectly[b] but it’s not banned.[[/b]/quote] True. I stand corrected. But due to complaints, such as this one about the term "gunner," it's no longer used here (have you noticed?) because of all the complaints from people who perceived it to be an insult when I it was 100% descriptive of a certain type of student (and their parents') behaviors.[/quote]
