I'm curious if it's intentionally supposed to read "don't buy a yearbook, forget highschool" because the placement of highschool makes no sense

I think they meant "Don't forget high school - buy a year book"

With the @jostens I don't think so. That company has a stranglehold monopoly on the entire graduation industry in America. It's disgusting actually

My brain keeps locking up. I think I know what it does say and I think I know what it is supposed to say but I literally cannot separate the two. It's like a radio stuck between stations

"a yearbook"

"Y" is used as a consonant sometimes, like in "Yankee" or "Yucatan", but it's also used as a vowel like in "fly" or "shrimply" or "Yttrium".

"a" and "an" are chosen based on the pronounciation, not the letters, so it would be "A yearbook" or "A Yankee" but "An Yttrium bar".

The "n" is added to avoid the difficulty of pronouncing two vowel sounds back-to-back
