Yeah, I noticed that when I would say things like "Are you in college?" when chatting with Aussies (the response would often be "What?"). I quickly picked up that the usual term (at least, among the couple of Aussies I've chatted with) is "Uni", which I've since adopted for myself, in addition to Chrissy for Christmas. -- Dievas dave dantis; Dievas duos duonos God gave teeth; God will give bread - Lithuanian proverb ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
