You could be less of an elitist snob

Why on earth would I do that? I'm a busy man. I have from the time I sit down, to the time I wipe my ass, to absorb some news. I make quick decisions whether or not something is worth my time, and I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong. You could be less of judgemental twat. You ever think of that?

I'm clearly not though. I made a fair and accurate assessment that you agreed with.
If a single typo stops you from ingesting information then your snobbery is counterproductive.

"Clearly not," my tidy tucchus. My owning up to being a snob in no way precludes nor absolves you from being a judgemental prick. If my misinformed triage of the content I choose to digest is somehow negatively affecting you, that's a you problem. I made an ill-informed assessment, received a correction, said, "thank you," and went about my day.

Am I an elitist snob? I'd argue against the elitist part and completely cop to snobbery.

Did you needlessly decide to go out of your way to make a judgemental assessment of someone who hadn't said boo to you? Absofuckinglutely.

From the article:

"to ferment is to cause a chemical change to food or drink, like turning grapes into wine, but to foment is to stir up trouble, like turning a group of people into an angry mob."
