make that 8 years old. this math stuff is hard.

They'd be a real asshole of an 8 year old but that in itself is not uncommon I spose

Also there's none of this "getting the hours in", the uni chucks all the students out by May so they can rent out the facilities to businesses until October

What if it takes you a year and a half to get your first year hours in? You can't be a "first-year" student if you've been at college for two years.

also, iirc there's no single word in american that covers this scenario anyway. i've never heard of anyone who's still doing first-year subjects in their second year of enrolment saying e.g. "i'm a trinitron"

the american terms refer to years spent there, not level of courses taken

seems odd to measure progress by how many years you've been on the campus, not how much of the course you've completed

I mean, you all are the ones who would break an ankle by jumping out of a "first" story window, not me.

accents shouldn't really count though
there are regional differences even within england and not to mention the uk
i always thought it was funny how non-rhotic dialects insert an /r/ sound between vowels (when there is no letter r of course)
some good ones i just remembered:
nonsensical use of semesterjunior college
darn i forgot the other one
