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.

That's fine and understandable.

But as a future writer, you should know better than to use that as the justification for a statement beginning "Most of 'em are"...

You can thank the husband of an English teacher for bringing you today's writing lesson.
