Wow, so dedicated 
The US grades look right (luckily they’re easy, it’s just how to break them into 3 different schools that can be confusing).

Oh this chart is so useful for me, I never have any idea what anglos mean when they say “X grade”.
The French system is so much simpler in comparison.

The UK is also different than the US.. I usually don’t know what they’re talking about either 
I think Canada is the same as us, and I actually have no idea about Australia, NZ, or any other places.
Also, ours is just 0-12, but we call 0 “K”. I don’t see how that’s harder than whatever’s going on in your column

I was being ironic, to be clear. This is probably the one case where the American numbering system makes more sense.

Hah. I just woke up, my sarcasm detector must not have started up yet.
(There are very few things we do right, so I always assume people are, usually validly, criticizing )

I have cropped the Danish system from the picture, because it is probably not relevant to anyone except me, but it’s pretty much the same as the US, except that they start at 0 and not 1 (as every good programmer should!)

Looking up 白金 in the dictionary (hadn’t realised it was a place!), found this very appropriate ハチ子 entry:
シロガネーゼ・Shiroganese, housewife, esp. from up-market Shirogane, who does nothing but shop, dine out, etc.
Much as I love her, she’s very much suited to shop-till-you-drop monied wifedom

Haha yes I had found that one too, I agree! Though she will have mom-hood too on top that soon, not sure if that still applies completely
