Try redvines they're 4000x better.

No they weren't. I'm not related to any colonists. My parents came to American from another country. Anyway, Latin came before any form of modern English. The word semester has Latin roots. The Latin root of the word semester means half. Half implies that there are two semesters. Trimester's root means three. That is why there are three trimesters. You are in the wrong. Completely and utterly in the wrong.

How about this: if nitetom replies to even one comment ever on this post within one year, I am wrong

its just an example of simple insecurity. england was once the greatest superpower in the world, and now it's just a shell of its former self.

Well, execution it is.

Who's that aimed at lol

Not only that, you are currently in a website with a majority of American English speakers. Thus, EVEN IF Latin did not exist at all, and EVEN IF the British misuse of the word semester was somehow 'correct' due to it being an older convention, you would still be a minority and thus your (incorrect at times) dialect would not be favored by most of the people here. I understand that the Brits are desperate to cling to SOMETHING that makes them superior to Americans (which is something really hard to do nowadays), but they are in no way godly nor infallible.

English words are derived from Latin. And the latin root word for semester is half. Therefore, in this scenario, British English is more incorrect than American English, because it retardedly uses a word that quite literally means 'half year term' to describe a third of a year term. In this specific scenario, American English provides the correct option. Thus, your statement that American English is and always will be wrong, is and always will be wrong. Of course, if you are mentally deficient enough to believe that LATIN is wrong, you are completely irredeemable and are destined for failure due to your insane level of stubbornness.

If you are still unconvinced, I implore you to use Google or to graduate from kindergarten, which ever one is more easy for you.

Semester:
a half-year term in a school or college, typically lasting fifteen to eighteen weeks
Sem is derived from semi, which means half.
Thus there are two semesters.
If you have three terms, those terms are called trimesters.
I may be American but I also happen to know English.

Then those are trimesters not semesters

But it could be due to horrible image quality

Yea look at the left chicks left hand

Good job. Everyone, clap!
