Busy, busy week ahead. The eldest is going to high school this year, so we have a parents assembly tonight and he has three full taster days, so the routine of the week has been thrown into chaos.

‘High school’? Since when did we become Americanised? Surely you mean seniors? 😄
I've always known it as secondary school
West midlands people call it High School, and did twenty years ago
Not where I grew up and went to secondary school 20 years ago...
TIL it's High School in Scotland and not in [edit: some parts of] England!
My friends.
Maybe this is our chance to get rid of the tiresome Reddit trope of trying to catch people out in so-called "Americanisms" (that usually just ended up being different British dialects anyway).
Maybe this is our chance to be better.
Indeed. Also, the "Where are you from" thread highlighted that we have subscribers (Lemmys / Lemmies?) from all over the world, we should welcome everyone even if they spell something differently to you.
Lemmings! 😄
Ah, of course!
