    Then say “at my university”. I think people will understand that you don’t own a university, and you are referring to the one that you attended. Again, it’s purely a subjective issue. I get that I’m in the minority, but I still hate the term.

      Are you really asking all but a few countries on the planet to stop using the word they’ve been using for ages because being exposed to it bothers you personally?

      I’m actually interested in how this plays out.

        I’m not asking anyone to do anything. I’m just saying that I hate the word.

        If I said I hate spaghetti, would you assume I want all spaghetti around the world banned and destroyed?
