[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 924885, member: 4572"] YOU said the professor was in the right to argue someone who is the father of a Tech student is not a Tech man. The words alumni, alum, or alumnus were never mentioned. They were mentioned in relationship to Penn State, never in relationship to Georgia Tech. YOU then wanted to get into an argument about how the words: alum, alumni, alumnus can and should be used when referring to past students. Also, what you’re saying about being referred to as an alumni isn’t even true. You are automatically entered into the Georgia Tech Alumni Association upon graduation, but any former student is also an alumni, whether they graduated or not. Jimmy Carter is considered a Georgia Tech alum, and he did not graduate. YOU are continuing to act in an extremely snobbish manor because you think only your way is correct, and everything outside of your view is incorrect. There is no gray area with you. There is no partial credit. It’s you’re right, everyone else is wrong 100% of the time. THAT is the snobbish behavior people reference when talking about Tech, and you are exhibiting that behavior currently. [I]Maybe [/I]if you calmed down a little bit, and came down off your pedestal, you would see how that rubs people the wrong way. [I]Maybe [/I]if there weren’t as many Tech fans who exhibited that type of behavior, we wouldn’t have as much trouble attracting sidewalk fans. [/QUOTE]
