This is a really good list. Thanks for taking the time to type it all out.

Just being a bit pedantic here, but Mac.Rob is officially written as 'The Mac.Robertson Girls' High School'

So could you please add the full stop [.] after 'c' and an apostrophe ['] after 's'

Thanks :)

It's actually really annoying that it isn't spelt consistently across the media, vcaa, companies/organisations that host subject achievement tests like the AMC, UNSW, RACI etc...

It's because they either ignore the punctuations or correct capitalisation

Now schools that are named after places are really easy to spell...*ahem* Dandenong...

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”
― Hunter S. Thompson

Added most of the stuff, and fixed some of the more pedantic (yet important) issues

Also changed the format into two parts for better reading... If people like it the other way, I'll change it back (post protests here)

...

Thanks, added! Also put in 'IB' and the VCE grading system

Also added some other terms:
- acronyms for some schools,
- added 'enwiabe' after I found out what his name meant... so random
- subject abbreviations,
- common forum language and abbreviations (eg afaik, etc.)

Also updated VN Ranking System quote (and original post)
