This used to be the arrangement in my province, except 7-9 was called junior high. (Grade 9 is now part of high school.)

I went to school in California and Washington, and every school system I was in used a 6/3/3 division of grades. Elementary was K-6, junior high was 7-9 (though 9th-graders were still called "freshmen"), and high school 10-12.
A couple of years ago I drove a bus for the Forest Grove/Cornelius district here in Oregon, where it seems to be elementary school for K-4, with grades 5-6 "upper elementary", 7-8 "middle school", and 9-12 "high school".
notStanley:
"bits and bytes" -- My first IT job was writing business applications in Assembler on IBM mainframes. Then they started using Cobol. Those fools used THREE BYTES for a literal "yes" or "no " flag, instead of fitting 8 bit level flags into a single byte. On a machine with 512KB RAM (yes Kilo, not Mega or Giga, and Tera was not even being used in SciFi yet), that adds up. As well as the CPU overhead of invoking micro-code for string compares vs a single clock cycle for a native binary test. <huf> <huf> <rant /off>

New Comic up.
Oh poor Elliot. Wonder if he'll run back to Clinton's or...?
Gyrre:
Renee accidentally jinxed him twice over.
DaiJB:
"Chekhov's Skunk" - Dammit, Jeph already said what immediately came to my mind! :laugh:
That's OK, I'm sure Clinton's mother will be happy to oblige with a tomato juice bath - and with the whole Clinton/Elliot shipping thing , plus her own proclivity for younger men, it's pretty easy to see that this is going to be the most embarrassing night of Clinton's life :-D
