Reply to comment by BonnieIndigo in What are some good off-campus housing options for graduate students? by Cunt_With_A_C

You’re missing the point. I wasn’t trying to shame you because I attributed some attitude about youth to you. Not at all. I’d brought the poster’s youth up as a mitigating favor. As is clear in its context.

If I was going to shame you about anything, which I’m not, it might be for this comment:

“Yes. The fact that you don’t know that indicates that you need to do more ‘getting to know the city’, research before moving here.”

It was pedantic, remarkably rude and just silly.

You write that you’ve never misspelled the foreign name of any city or town in any country you’ve visited. Perhaps. Perhaps you never make mistakes. Another possibility Is that you have, but the locals had manners.

I teach college. I have a doctoral degree from an Ivy. I care about words and names. I don’t misspell them, and if I accidentally did, I would correct it and beat myself up about it.

What you denigrate as “pedantic” is merely “respecting others.”

I note that in your comments to me you have not addressed or recognized at all the misogynistic slur in the other poster’s username, so apparently that’s A-OK with you while we argue about whether or not it’s necessary to spell the city name correctly?

I see that you have attempted a reply, which Reddit hasn’t yet recognized somehow. That’s cute that you have an undergraduate degree from Columbia. You evidently have avoided learning the things that college is supposed to teach you. Columbia is probably embarrassed, because these things are things that you could have learned from any community college (at which I have also taught, before you think that that’s a potential arrow in your quiver). I’m sorry you’re so ignorant. Have a pretty life. You won’t get another response from me.
