USA people, jeez, get a grip and realise that Englishmen are poking you intentionally all the time! I can't believe some of you actually got opset about such trivial matter as spelling, I can't believe you can be so full of yourselves... I am not a native english speaker and from now on I'm spelling kolor!
... er... DUH. Do you really think I walk around telling Canadians that they're our bitches and that we own them?
... well, ok. I do. But that's beside the point. We know they're kidding and we're kidding back.
And your parody? Priceless.
Crossfire: "Thank you! That explains it very nicely, and in a language that someone other than a physicist can understand..."
Denial is not falsification. You can't avoid a fact just because you don't like it.
"Data" is not the plural of "anecdote"
Heheh, we're not serious about any of that, just a light verbal tussling, personally I really couldn't care less for changes in our spelling but I wouldn't want any words abolished (that's just not English). More words! Feed the English, it hungers, it hu~~ngers!
But I am serious about the pounds, farhenheit, mile, kilograms, celsius and kilometers thing. By God the pain I get from them with physics and the Unreal 2003 mapping grid, it's horrible converting feet to centimeters (and even worse with Farhenheit)! WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST BE SANE?!
I didn't go to collage either. (Sympathy misspelling) But I'm only 19, so maybe I'm not supposed to have been to college. I don't even know what the Swedish quivalent is. But anyway, even if I was supposed to I wouldn't, because my grades from what is somewhat the Swedish equivalent of High School, sucked.

It was quite stupid they just jumped to the conclusion he'd get expelled for that.
Even the site itself says they can't do that.
Question 46: Do I have any rights to protect against a search at school based totally on the rumors of other kids?
Answer: blahblahblah [...], you can have a lawyer later challenge the search as unreasonable. If that happens, a judge will decide later if the search was reasonable. If it was not reasonable, any evidence found would be suppressed, or 'thrown out' when the case is in court.
I think someone calling (to avoid a test) that you have a bomb or whatever in your backpack is quite unreasonable reason to search you.
Funny how they forgot to mention it.
