We use invigilators here, too. I've never heard the word monitors used in that sense. However, grad students are often (usually) paid to invigilate exams. So, CK, in Canada, we invigilators are not wizened, elderly folk. Not just yet!

Invigilators sounds like it's full of treachery and deception -- a cross between inveigle and infiltrator. Commonweathers, how do you pronounce it? Hard G or soft? Where's the accent?

This word is not heard, used or known. When taking an exam you are usually supervised by either a T.A. (teacher’s assistant), a teacher or a supervisor. A monitor (the human kind not the screen kind ) is usually a person in charge of young children doing some activity.

I hope it really happened because it shows a jump and a start. I hope that student just threw that exam in the heapy old pile and ran like a blaze. On invigilator: I like this term a great deal, especially when considering the alligators my Aunt Imogene used to wrestle. There were always several that lay about watching her, alligator invigilators, opening their milky eyes to see how the contest was unfolding.
