as an ex teacher, I did already know that one, thanks to "Harper Valley PTO", on the radio, many years ago. Trouble is, I don't ever remember writing it!

Or "Paid Time Off." And in the U.S. it also means "Parent Teacher Organization," in local schools.

Depends on where you are.

In England and in the English language it usually means "please turn over"

However, in the US business world it means "personal time off".

Sorry chaps,

but I don't understand how i came into this conversation; hence my response.

As far as I am concerned:

(pi? ti? o? ) also P.T.O. PTO is a written abbreviation for 'please turn over'. You write it at the bottom of a page to indicate that there is more writing on the other side.

Apparently, n'our days it has different connotations, but for me it remains as stated.

David, I was responding to Byron's question about the meaning of the acronym PTO.
