Hope that's not me. I have taken to using "perhaps" in place of "maybe" because it sounds better. I am also slowly moving away from "okay" toward "very well." Again, these sound better. I do not use high-fallutin' words much, but I do occasionally because of the specific meaning I am after. Unfortunately, I have a fairly big vocabulary. Again, I will only use a $100 word if I need to because of its specific meaning.

And yeah, I have my pet peeves. For some reason, I hate the word "problematic." Also, when you use the word "patronize," I expect the pronunciation to be different, depending on which of the two main meanings you are applying.

And finally, I think perhaps some of you should look hard at your disdain for educated people. Sure, some educators without real world experience are out of touch. And yeah, most of them disagree with your politics and so you are inclined to deprecate them a bit. But if you are going to publicly discuss your generalization that they are somehow mentally challenged, or underinformed or whatever, then first I suggest you consider how your message will be received. Folks who think just like you, and who listen to Rush Limbaugh and watch Fox News might not see a problem or an irony. And of course you could care less about what lefties think. But there are middle-of-the-road folks out there. Lots of them. And when they hear you declare the most educated people in the world to be a bunch of idiots........well..........

It's an interesting position. This assertion that higher education people, and news media professional, don't know anything. Hmmmmm..... Parts of your audience are going to take this information and use it to make some assumptions about you.
