How do you know the difference between the smug type and those that, let's say, have learning difficulies. I have, I feel, a justified reason as to why I find learning Thai difficult. So I feel some what offended to be bracketed as 'I won't stoop to learn Thai types'. Perhaps I should wear a badge saying 'I'm not smug, I just have difficulty in learning' ?
We can't all be clever fuckers.
