[Kamilah Hauptmann]

It really jumped out at me because a week or so back I was on another forum discussion about the UK referendum, and was watching a back and forth between a very well educated New Yorker (Who has UK ties) and a middle class English chap who isn't ordinarily a fucking idiot obtuse. The New Yorker made a number of points and I pulled one out of the pack and said 'This relates to Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc.' with a link to the Wikipedia page on that. The English chap proceeded to ignore the New Yorker he'd been debating with and pounced on the Latin with what seemed to me at the time a bizarre amount of bile. I new England was considerably more old school classist than out here in the colonies, but the hostile response to what's a fairly basic and easy to understand concept if he'd just read the damned link, just the intro would be enough, was very strange to my sum of life's experience. (I'm a Canuck, and thus straddle the line between having a picture of the Queen in most government offices and Schoolhouse Rock on the TV.)
