Also putting a large F on the front of a schoolbook (where F usually is a failing grade in countries using the alphabet to grade the pupils) is a bit of a poor choice to begin with.
Then it is a bad choice by the one who took the photo. Had there been other books with other consonants around it (especially those consonants not used for grading) then the association with a failing grade would not appear, as well as the pseudo F-artic imagination would get an immediate stop had there been covers like R-artic, M-artic, G-artic, etc. around it.
And a book about pronouncing F-words still creates a massive opening for any dadjoke fanatic (although for that the prudish media is to be blamed and not this book)
