I wasn't assuming... just if that was the attitude of the English teachers at the schools I was attending, there was no way I'd want to be with them. And the English majors - all right, so I admit the geeks looked at them as just one or three steps above the ed majors in our hierarchy of brains, but that's because we liked being snots.
