I suspected it when you used the word "didactic" :-)))


Heh! Actually, I heard that word on a Scout Leader training
course - but my employer was paying, and they gave me the time
off!


But I bet you took it back to work with you and used it a lot!

That's funny. That's definitely not a word that makes me go, "civil
servant!" in the US. I might think "political science major", but
not civil servant, particularly.

Indeed. Every profession or pastime has a language of its own.
Use of such words is mandated, and brigaded by managers ;-)
