A lot to learn about economics you have my young apprentice. NVQ level 3 you already have, but it is the business force you lack.

University is a very long word, and uses up too many letters- and letters as you know are in dwindling supply, the great saudi alphabet wells will all dry up within 50 years.

I don’t mind Uni, but for some reason ‘quali’ relating to F1 really niggles me.

I find people talking about ‘Glasto’ very annoying, in an upper-middle class uni way.

Is “sparks” for electrician acceptable by “You what?” Guevara, then?

Or (in my trade) “Bloody Rep” for international business development manager ?

Does the ‘word’ Uni make my skin crawl???

Eh??

Did you mean…Does the word ‘Uni’ make my skin crawl?

Not that I’m pedantic or owt!!!!

Love the way people who ‘rant’ about the use of the English language struggle to use it correctly themselves!! 8)

The only thing about “Unis” is that most of them aren’t!! 😉

I went to Liverpool Poly, but now it’s called some University or other.

University of Central Lancashire??? It’s Preston Poly ffs!!

Inverted snob…moi??? 😆
