Hi everyone,

According to my knowledge of English language, term Gymnasium used in this article is used incorrectly. Gymnasium (in English) is a long term for gym, i.e. the place where one would go and exercise (think Virgin Active, at least in SA). Although I can find in the dictionary that gymnasium's second meaning is "An academic high school in some central European countries, especially Germany, that prepares students for the university" (dictionary.com), the use of term can be quite misleading in this context. My suggestion is that "The high school of" should be used. So I would suggest that the name of this article is changed to "High School of Zemun". At least, this is the official translation on my high school transcripts from Serbian to English. --Bozafaca (talk) 12:29, 16 January 2008 (UTC), sr:Корисник:Bozafaca The high school of Zemun, III-6, 2000.[reply]
