Never mentioned anything about 7th grade.
Why wouldn't my experience be relevant to making my point? You used your experience to rationalize your point. What other experiences do we have to base things on other than our own?

Yes, I understand it. You are basically saying, “I don't want to come off as thinking I am smarter than everyone else.” … The irony is that by using a word that is so uncommon, you are actually coming off exactly like that. It's irony. You know, ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife and such.
