Actually I am. English is my first language and I studied it too in tertiary education. It does seem though that you really jump qyuickly to incorrecty assumptions about others. I was really pointing out to you that I prefer to be addressed by a more politically correct term such as layperson, if you really want to give me a label. You seem to have missed that nuance.

qyuickly

incorrecty

Do you mean 'quickly' and 'incorrectly'?

politically correct term

I'm not interested in politics.. (My father says this is my weak point but I'm inclined to believe otherwise, considering the growth of my newest venture ;) )

Again you miss the nuance... it's not about party politics - it about being gender sensitive, racially sensitive, etc. That is your third strike on the nuances of the English language. It's not about mathematics but about meaning and context. But OK this is a science forum so I don't want to end up trolling it, as the topic is languages.
