Hi All.

How bout "The Pearson Buzz" or "The Pearson Post"

How about "Pearsonian","Pearson Daily," "Pearson Diary," "Pearson Cool," or "The Son of Pear."

The Pearson Reader

I must say I like "The Pearson Pear"

It's odd, but catchy. What does a pear bring to your mind? Is it positive?

Can you spin the pear into a metaphor or simile? Perhaps establish a theme this way?

Hi, every one,

Today is the first day of spring in lunar calendar and I hope you have a very happy new year!


I have to say "The Pearson Pear" is a very good name because I can think of nothing nicer.

First, like Brad says, it’s odd and catchy.

Second, it sounds funny and rhymed.

Then, it is positive.

In China, peaches and pears is a symbol of students.

A school or a teacher who has many “peaches and pears” in the world means the school or the teacher is famous and influential.

On the other hand, we are pears of PALC and this reading matter will be our harvest.

Yes, people use a pear as a metaphor or simile to describe women’s body-shape sometimes.

Sorry,

It is wrong that “In China, peaches and pears is a symbol of students.”

It should be “peaches and plums”, not “peaches and pears”.

I made this mistake because “pears” and “plums” are homophones in Chinese.

"The Pearson Plum"?

Maybe, especially if it has metaphorical meaning in Chinese, as well.

It's going to be a close vote next Thursday. Maybe we should rank 1, 2, 3 most favourite to narrow the field, then revote on our one favourite?

"Pearson Plums" is nice and cute, but I'd like to choose "The Peason Press," or "The Peason Peers."

I prefer "The Pearson Pear"; it is easy to remember just like Vancouver Sun and Hongkong Apple.
