I Simon's point about idiotic web filters is valid. "Cnt" is innocuous in formal documentation where by context it clearly means "count", but think of how people type text messages. If an online chat board in html had text like messages then a machine learning algorithm (for a web filter) would tend to associate "cnt" with sexually explicit and racially offensive language that would not be appropriate for an elementary school aged child.
By middle school the student and their friends are probably experimenting with the language.... Web filters are sometimes used in corporations, government agencies and public facilities, so I can see why it might be an issue, even though "cnt" is completely innocuous in formal documentation in a way it would not be in a "how many ... does it take to change light bulb" joke or in a string of offensive expletives. It is a matter of context. And to a crudely programmed machine learning algorithm it is all html text with no context.
