English isn't always english...

Today I suddenly realised that many of my T-shirt designs would not be suitable for the US market. Being English and having grown up in the UK where we refer to uni (university) where we study on average for three years I realised that several of my tee shirt slogans may not make sense to graduates in America!

With the US market being considerably larger (at least regards population) it is important that I try to find out a bit more about the terminology surrounding US education. So I duly sent off an email to my father who is in the US right now for some answers. If you are reading this and can help me then please add some comments how typical education works in America and what you call the different stages (and how long each one lasts).
