One wonders how the americans became the rulers of the world if they can't even speak the languae propper

Give us time and you too will speak Americanese.

Easily.

2) We reshape reality to our liking.

3) ???
4) Profit

In the US you still "go to school" even if you graduated high school and are now attending a University, Collage and Community collage, or if you are going to a trade school or night school.

Uh..? Studying and not being in school ?!?!?

...I think you said the same thing twice in a row! But yeah, meant studying as in "undergraduate study".

Hey, *I'm* the guy studying physics - I'm going to do that - don't steal my job!

No point in arguing or trying to understand them and their freakish foreign ways. Just be thankful they're all over there and not here trying to drive on the wrong side of the road.

Pfff... even in Germany (where we drive on the other side, like you Americans), we only call it "school" if it's before university. You Americans are the weirdos!

Cheers, LT.

What's the German equivalent of university? In the States there is a difference between going to a Collage and going to a University. IE. Going to the University of California at Riverside is more prestigious then going to California State University at Riverside and both are better then going to Riverside California community collage.

You Americans are indeed weird.

In Germany, there's Primary School (4 years), then you do the rest of school (in my case Grammar School, i.e. 9 years) - and then you either try to find a job or go to university. A town usually doesn't have more than one university in Germany.

In the UK, after you take your A-levels, you also just go to university.

How prestigious it is, depends on how good the university itself is, but that's usually a somewhat nebulous thing since it can be *so* dependent on your lecturer/professor (though as a rule of thumb universities in important cities or those with towns basically grown around the university tend to be better).

That, at least, seems similar to the South African situation. Universities rank above collages, especialy for the more academic directions. Collages are considered better for more practical courses.

*headslap*

Right, we have something similar in Germany - Fachoberschulen (you could translate it as "Higher technical school", which are more practical. I just didn't get the connection to "college", as Germans tend to use composite words a lot.

And to be honest, I never thought about going to college a lot, I was always planning to go to university.
