<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#2E74B5">It may just be semantics, but we don’t “forgive” these kinds of fines, we “right them off”. The difference being that we are not absolving the patron of the fine we are just giving
up all attempts to collect them and clearing our records.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
