It was an American called Will Rogers who said "All men are ignorant, only
on different subjects".  He said it a sufficiently large number of years
ago that I'm sure he included women.
For "ignorant", it is easy to substitute the relevant word - such as
"bigoted", or "guilty", or "immature".  Perhaps we could all bear this
in mind ?
Personally, I am irrationally biassed against all people who do not spell
words as recommended in the Oxford English Dictionary.  I don't spill my
ire all over the poor, long-suffering net audience.
Sigh.  I thought I was young, but it's conversations like these recent ones
that make me feel very old (which, in case it needs pointing out, also comes
under the "mature/immature" smugness).
