You don't believe in class difference, that's cool. However, just like, albeit anti-parallel to, religion your beliefs doesn't have the slightest impact upon reality. NZ has significant class differences - whether you choose to believe in it or not.
I still enjoy the fact that no one treats me differently whether they know that I am doing my doctorate or not. And I sure hope that's not going to change - after all it's just another TLA to add to the CV.

No, but I must admit I find it easier to handle people who brag or wank on about real achievements instead of talking themselves up on doubtful bullshit stories which no one can verify.
I'd rather spend time with a smart arse than a dumb arse - provided I have to make a choice. (I don't, I do not crave company just for the sake of it and am quite happy to ignore people if they annoy me...)
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
