# It's still informal. The same rules apply.
Trust me. I'm a Professor of Linguistics at the University of Glasgow.

Just kidding. No-one in Glasgow know any f*cking thing about speaking properly...

# Just the first university that came to mind.
I find making up random facts to be quite refreshing.

Did you know that Shakespeare invented the word Elbow?

# That's english fucking philosophy.
ed: Oh no, you may be closer than I was. I had linguistics down as in the School of Critical Study, which only has the one Professor.

# No, you're right about the school

# No. I was lying about being a Professor to trick Mu
You are merely collateral damage, I'm afraid...
