I was just reminded that one #actuallyAutistic trait of mine has always been to meticulously research the specific language of a domain when I came in from the cold. Not only the opaque specification lingo, but especially all the jargon for discussions in the margins.

This works the same in tech as in any other #grammarSchool-alike #caste system. Your peers may still despise you for your #neurodivergency, but immediately accept your authority because of your idiomatic accent.

@professorkiosk IOU up there with Welcome To Facebook 😹 I find being myself hereabouts the best part, others can like it or lump it, but if I bring a #laugh or a morsel of #ClimateChange I’ve done my part. My formative years were at #boardingschool, a #grammarschool not private toffs club. On the whole good, but I’ve learnt by accident after 70 years on the planet that the best bit is to keep them going. Minds are like parachutes, work best when open. #MALPWBWO

Long believed to be a mythical hill in South East England, the #Oxford coma is actually the most common cause of death for #grammarSchool #oldBoys.

Here's a thing I wrote. An essay about my time there. It should clear things up.

The #GrammarSchool system is not just selective; it is also rejective. In fact it is about 80% rejective and 20% selective. #SecondaryModern is the (larger) flip-side of #Grammar
We expect it of the Tories but it's a pity #KeirStarmer doesn't acknowledge this truth.
