      You have to know that there are multiple terms for people that teach at a university around the world, and that “docent” is not the only possible term.

      Like I’ve never heard a professor referred to as a “docent” in North America. Docents here are information guides in museums and galleries.

        That’s fine, I’m not discussing terms.

        But a statement like “Nobody teaches at universities?! Must be a wild place to try to learn.” makes it clear that you do not understand the difference between a school and a university.

          You thought that statement was straight, and without any irony? Did you forgot the context of your own statement of “You mean docent I presume. Universities do not exactly have teachers”? Universities definitely teach how to keep context in mind, especially when irony and satire is involved. What happened here?

          Also that wasn’t my statement.
