You guys don't have five-minute breaks in between periods to switch rooms? Strange.

My college doesn't even get that. We're just expected to time travel from a couple of minutes after the bell, get to where we're meant to be, and then be just before the bell.
Unfortunately time travel doesn't real so we just have to settle with being late.

You... College... Bell???
Huh?
Like, degree-granting institution or is this just plain school?

[Graknorke]

16-18

[TheBiggerFish]

Just plain school then.

Please learn to into multicultural.

So its half a high school. Does britain have to make everything more complicated?

[Orange Wizard]

We need international standards for what educational facilities are called, dammit.

[TheBiggerFish]

I would learn to into multicultural but I really can't be bothered.  Too busy dealing with my own culture to muck about with other people's cultures.

Also, the two categories were "degree-granting institution" and "just plain school".  I see no degrees there.

For your into multicultural today, IB and etc. generally happen at the end of high school/Grade 12 of 12/Right before degree-granting institution acceptance on this side of the pond.

Nah, the range of subjects you take narrows significantly at A-level, and also you don't actually have to do it.

Okay, so it's like... Pre-university?  Or whatever.

Completely reinstalling the graphics drivers.

Nearly had to resort to less-than-legal measures to activate my copy of Windows since the key didn't work. Turns out on the spot where they write the key, "8" and "B" are quite similar in appearance.

I wish Englishmen would learn to speak English properly: the American way.  Why do those guys have different words for things?

FTFY.


I remember getting into arguments with Americans over the whole aluminium/aluminum thing. (Yes, I know they are both correct. No, I don't care. Aluminium 'til I die!)

[Graknorke]

It beats the sausage roll thing.

[Orange Wizard]

Americans have a different word for sausage rolls?
