Do you think that I am a snob?

Question by sokrates: Do you think that I am a snob?
I expect people to pronounce words correctly, write using standard English, read fine literature, listen to cultured music (although the other stuff is also fine) and I like certain drinks that are enjoyed by urbane persons. I don’t like most of the books that are published by modern authors. I much prefer Homer, Virgil, Shakespeare, Dante or Plato. I read literature in a number of foreign languages and like to think abstractly. Am I expecting too much of my fellow humans? Am I a snob? Why does the confusion between “there” and “their” bother me so much? Why does a lack of subject-verb agreement by writers or speakers drive me crazy?
I am definitely more than a little ocd. Maybe the humanities attracts those type of persons. Yes, I did notice how you spelled “little.” But if you had to edit books or dissertations, you too might have more than a touch of ocd. 🙂
I might add that I do have a wry sense of humor. Or so I have been told. Humor is one of the classical virtues. It is touted by numerous thinkers throughout history, including Aristotle, Quintilian and David Hume. And who can forget that paragon of humor, Aristophanes? I told you that my sense of humor is wry, didn’t I?
