I'm not sure that someone with an "extremely powerful brain" would waste their time whining on TSR :wink:

Spoiler



The same "extremely powerful brain" that doesn't know the difference between its and it's and also thinks Banterbury is a real place.

Make of it what you will.

Basically, as someone with an extremely powerful brain, I find it annoying.

And its invariably highly talkative short girls in their early twenties with MacBooks, holding a costa that come up to you and start nattering about "uni".

Its University, my friends.

Not "Cambridge Uni" SMH

****in' college m8.

While I agree with the sentiment, this kiddie attitude of claiming to have an extremely powerful brain is just going to get you a bunch of broken teeth.

Language changes and develops as a result of such borrowings. We would never have lexis such as 'anchor', 'wall', 'city', 'government', 'question', 'atmosphere' or 'dignity' without borrowings. If you don't want to say 'uni' fine but don't force others to. Now, act with a bit of dignity and delete this thread.
"Uni" isn't a borrowing, it's an abbreviation.
Actually, I'm still not in varsity... well, but yeah, just after A'Levels I'll be in varsity
Varsity sounds like a cool place!!

Its cos we have class.


So you don't like the abbreviation 'Uni' but you're quite capable of using other abbreviations like 'cos'. Wow.
Varsity reminds me of Grand Theft Auto- it seems like a great but dangerous place to be (Vice City)

The word "uni" doesn't bother me. What does, though, is when people miss out the word "to" when describing it as the place they're going to. "I'm going uni" or "I can't, I gotta go uni tomorrow" - what kind of retard...

Yes.


The word "uni" is an Australianism that entered British English courtesy of Neighbours
