Talk:Utsuro no Hako:Volume 6 Scene 4 (1)
It says junior high here. As I understand it, that's years 7-9. We previously said 'middle school' so I think for the sake of consistency we should choose one name, 'junior high'. MatrixM (talk) 02:41, 17 July 2013 (CDT)
- Good catch. Though some new issues are raised... (balance between localization and EEE intent). per wikipedia: "In education systems where children receive three levels of schooling, a middle school is a school which educates them after they have finished their first school and before they commence the last. Middle schools generally cover between the fourth or fifth year of schooling up to the eighth or ninth year, although this may vary. The education delivered by middle schools is usually considered a part of secondary education, but in some education systems may be primary education or a mix of the two.
In some areas, junior high school fulfills the same function as a middle school."
So if EEE TL'd this instance as junior high school _specifically_ because it referred to a more precise/older demo...I'd leave it. Otherwise, change is probably right.
Fwiw, middle school may have a literal definition as whatever comes between segments one and three of pre-college in a given country (and thus could be, depending on country, 4/5-8/9 - and 7-9 for japan), it also has a localized (US EN) connotation of being "younger" than junior high.
Mild support for this interp in text: this passage is very far along/they're actually dating. Many earlier instances were clearly demonstrative of much greater youthfulness. OK - waaay too much random detail on my part at 5AM

- Also, a hi-fi system is some type of speaker? MatrixM (talk) 02:46, 17 July 2013 (CDT)
- speaker + rest of audio system, usually. Grrarr (talk) 04:03, 17 July 2013 (CDT)
- I'd recommend that we replace it with something more universal (no one says hi-fi in Australia, it seems to be a new British word) but I can't think fo anything that wouldn't interrupt the flow >.> MatrixM (talk) 05:56, 29 October 2013 (CDT)
