Following this drift a bit -- Why do you over there use 'school' for university or college? Seems to me an odd diminution of the status of institutes of higher education. I once remarked to a visiting American neighbour at Christ's College Cambridge, my alma mater, that I had been at school with an actor who had been mentioned. Of course I meant Hendon County Grammar School in N London, which I attended 11-18 "Here at Christ's?" she astounded me by replying.
