Guess I wasn't paying attention science class as a kid.I thought mid winter, mid summer, etc was at least six week in from the solstice. They also pronounce ‘’laboratory’’ la-bora- tory (’’tree)

We kinda say it ‘’labratory’’.

Never once in any science class did any of my teachers make any reference at all to “midsummer”. It’s a term that largely used (correctly) in England and euphemistically in the US. :^)
