Name a SINGLE THING I said that was wrong….and be warned, don’t say “people around here called it UConn in the 50s” - because I MADE NOT A SINGLE COMMENT ABOUT WHAT LOCALS CALLED IT IN THE 50s. If you can’t figure that out, then your reading comprehension is exposed.
When I went to work in Chicago in 1973 I told the recruiter that I went to UCONN. He knew what I meant as did my co-workers. I encountered maybe one or two people who needed it explained to them that it was shorthand for the Univerity of Connecticut.
I needed it explained to me that in Chicago, “UCLA” meant University of Chicago Located on Austin.
Sorry, your assertion fails the reality test.
