Maybe this is our chance to get rid of the tiresome Reddit trope of trying to catch people out in so-called “Americanisms” (that usually just ended up being different British dialects anyway).
Indeed. Also, the “Where are you from” thread highlighted that we have subscribers (Lemmys / Lemmies?) from all over the world, we should welcome everyone even if they spell something differently to you.

‘High school’? Since when did we become Americanised? Surely you mean seniors? 😄
I’ve always known it as secondary school
TIL it’s High School in Scotland and not in [edit: some parts of] England!
West midlands people call it High School, and did twenty years ago
Not where I grew up and went to secondary school 20 years ago…
My friends.

Lemmings! 😄
Ah, of course!
