I've been harping on the knowledge vs. intelligence thing since high school. How many kids did you go to high school with that had straight As then flunked out of university? They earned their great high school marks by memorizing everything then when they got to University and had to actually think they were exposed. The internet has totally exacerbated this phenomenon.

        In common parlance here, yes. University does sound pompous. In other places it is common parlance Frank L 4:49pm · 11/1/18
