i'll never understand why people say that
It's the exact same reason why this thread exists, people think they're important and special and that their 'respect' (their e-peen) is actually worth anything, and then when someone condescends to them they can't keep it together and then this topic happens.
Nevermind is a really good example because he claimed to be a Harvard graduate when someone corrected his loving grammar to keep up appearances. It's ridiculous and it's pretty much delusion.
