What is wrong with people? Talk properly & you are "posh". Read a book that doesn't involve a wizard or whining about being famous & you are a "swot". Know a piece of general knowledge & you're a "nerd". Clearly the Americans started this anti-intellectualism when they elected Reagan & then George W, but what excuse does Britain have for so readily embracing the mindless? " Are You Smarter Than A 10 Year Old" should not be a challenge for an adult, yet people are proud that they know Paris is in France. Confront these morons & be proud that you know stuff.
