Good lord - do people actually put up MA after their names?

No wonder she writes like a high school student.

"No wonder she writes like a high school student."

I worked for a while with a real doofus. He had a degree in journalism, although his degree wasn't required for the job. We worked as NY State Correctional Officers. At the time I was attending school at night, working on a degree myself (not in journalism). I was several years older than him and a female. This guy was one of the biggest jerks around. He was always throwing up his journalism degree to everyone else, and no one could stand the buffoon. In one of my English classes I learned that news articles were actually written in grade school format so that the public could digest them. When I heard that, I had to laugh because all this time, this guy thought he was something special.
