Care to explain your meaning? Rutherglen is a town in Scotland. Sixth form colleges are an English thing. If someone in Scotland did go to a different college after their secondary school, they would never use the word “form”. ---

> [@Bob Ducca](#): > > I don’t know what most of those words mean (What is “Sixth Form”). Care to explain your meaning? OK. Rutherglen is a town on the outskirts of the city of Glasgow, Scotland - in effect it’s a suburb or whatever. “Sixth Form” refers to the last couple of years of high school for those in England (not Scotland) when kids are perhaps 17 or 18 and about to head to college or university. In some parts of England, kids might go from high school to “Sixth Form College” where they’ll complete their studies in a more “college like” environment than a typical high school. But in Scotland we do not have “Sixth Form” and so we don’t have “Sixth Form Colleges”. There are equivalents, but they’re not called the same thing. ---

> [@PaulParkhead](#): > > Yeah. And a “Sixth Form College” in Rutherglen? Yes! I have only seen this thread now, but I do wonder about “Sixth From College”. Of course, things change and all that, but it still sounds a bit unlikely. As do phrases such as “if people donnae feel”. I have never heard of “donnae”. ---

Oh how embarrassing. I usually DO read to the end of a thread before jumping in, but sadly not in this case. Oh well. So I end up merely repeating what others have said. I will change my name to “Echo” and hide my head in shame.:smack: ---

What we really need to talk is Scots. Anyone want to start an ask the Scotsperson thread? Some of these references are a bit baffling for us amused Americans. ---

How about that homerun derby? 🙂 I was telling my fiancee the other day about how I saw Sammy Sosa hit a ball in the 2000 HRD that I don’t think has landed _yet_.
