On the contrary, you have continually made assumptions about my education - none of which is accurate. There is nothing outmoded about my current level of knowledge - all of which goes back to the fact that I was taught how to keep educating myself when I was young.

I spent 11 years in America. I lived 3 times in the the UK (twice in England, once in Scotland). I have spent time in Germany, Spain, and now Portugal, and I have lived in several countries in Africa. I have also traveled much further than that.

Yes, I am condescending when I speak to someone who makes assumptions about me - It tells me that I'm speaking to an idiot. Only idiots make assumptions.

The fact that you didn't pay attention is your bloody problem - not the fault of a damned good education system that has stood me good stead for life.
