And, I specifically asked how you define it. You must have a definition
that doesn't match what Doug's is or you wouldn't have been offended by Doug's use of it. "Dave" wrote in message ...

Now if you were to ask what I think most people would think the denotation of "snooty school" is I'd say they'd probably think of the Ivies, the potted Ivies, MIT, Chicago, and perhaps a few others. A few would probably also think of the so-called "finishing schools." I doubt that many would think of Oral Roberts Univ., Grove City or others who refuse gummint money as "snooty" schools. But if you choose to use the word so, who am I to say nay. I was simply exploring your use to see whether your word had any content other than its pejorative connotation. Dave S/V Good Fortune CS27 |
