Starr Commonwealth is a therapeutic boarding school for both boys and girls. It specializes in Substance abuse, Psychical Abuse, Emotional Abuse, and even the every day family problems. Starr Commonwealth is also known for lying to the families and students. They say that you will have lots of contact with your friends and family while you are away, but no I never was allowed to talk to my friends, and received one phone call a week to my family, each for 15 minutes of time. They also told me we would receive our cell phones and laptops upon good behavior. That was a lie, we were never allowed to have any of those items. The closest thing to electronics we were allowed to have were camera's and cell phones. Every day, or at least almost everyday someone would have a temper tantrum and would have to get restrained to cool down. It was scary. I see this place as a nicer prison. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS THERE!

Starr Commonwealth is a Boys and Girls Residential Boarding School Treatment Center, that helps teens learn how to be the best they can be. It is located in Albion, Michigan, Columbus Ohio, and Detroit Michigan.They treat kids who suffer from Trauma, and who have been involved in various crimes such as Sexual offenses, Substance Abuse, Physical Abuse, and Everyday parents/teen troubles. This school did not help me as I thought it should. I got raped, then I suffered from Trauma. Sucks...This school is also a lie. They tell you that you will always have contact with your parents, but really you only get one phone call a week. You do get to email them everyday. You must stay with the group the whole time you are there, if you don't you get restraint. Ouch...What a lie. Do not send your kids there. www.starr.org

Similar to the Olympic games but only consisting of countries that are colonies of England.
A good excuse for Australia to win without competing against countries that also have swimming pools.

In the city of Boston, MA, the Commonwealth Crawl is known by most college students.
You start at the far end of Commonwealth Avenue, and as you make your way to the Boston Commons, you take a shot at each statue you pass.
The ultimate drinking game.

Mike: Did you do the Commonwealth Crawl last night?
Tom: Yeah, I was hammered, but not as bad as Chris who had to be dragged back to the dorm!

Commonwealth English is a collective term for the perceived standard English language used in the Commonwealth of Nations1 and many Former British Nations where English is at least a common second language. Thus it applys in theory to Australian English, British English, Caribbean English, Canadian English, Hiberno-English (Irish English)2, Hong Kong English3, Indian English (includes Pakistani English), formal Malaysian English, New Zealand English, formal Singapore English (but not colloquial Singlish) and South African English.

Commonwealth English is the name for a mythical variety of English which is only defined as “not U.S.”, and ignores the fact that the Commonwealth of Nations is an international organization whose membership changes regularly.
There is no such distinct variety defined by either accent, vocabulary, or spelling and orthography. English within the Commonwealth of Nations is diverse – for example, Canadian English is more closely related to (U.S.) American English than to any other variety – while English dialects can cross the bounds of the Commonwealth, like Irish English, spoken in the Republic of Ireland which is left the Commonwealth a half-century ago, and in Northern Ireland a part of the United Kingdom, a charter member of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Here in Ottawa we speak and write Commonwealth English, same as in Auckland, Karachi, London, and Singapore.
