Grice's inverted snobbery

Not Grice's -- but Chapman's (p. 46):

"Grice accuses his critics of
inverted snobbery: of assuming
that he must be trivial and
elitist because he belongs to
a privileged group in England's
only [unique?] university"

(or words).

-- And N. E. A. attended St.Catz so he _knew_.

  1. This is Grice as having Oxford (Corpus, or the House) as _alma mater_ -- not his being a mere don! (The implicature of 'mere' is donnish!)
