that said, arguing on vp often is like talking to a brick wall. doesnt matter what credentials you have - the 16 yo who googled the topic briefly of course knows more about the topic than the master candidate.
lmao no one is challenging me on linguistics luckily
god i wish my study object was somewhat obscure, because if i say "i am actually a history teacher, i know history" i just get pissed off teenagers accusing me of being pretentious and acting as if i am so much better than them because "i know more"
luckily, people dont tend to challenge me on my other subject, but like... it rarely pops up
One of the main perks of linguistics is that the terms used to describe language is very often outside the average vocabulary so once I actually turn my brain on to discuss language I suddenly start using other words than "lmao no"
