Up until this year High School in Ontario went to Grade 13 if a student was going on to University. Thi is the first year that students entering the secondary stream will all graduate in grade 12. my son is in the last of the bunch that will have grade 13 (if he ever gets there!) and will graduate with the kids in grade 9 this year. A double contingent of graduates should make entry into colleges and universities quite difficult. Anyway - English is a major subject during schooling here. High school kids need 5 English credits but only 2 math to graduate! Perhaps Gord excelled in the English portion of his schooling and that's where his knowledge came from.Perhaps having a British influence on our language has something to do with it too.
