I know a Ph.D principal of an upscale, Chicago area high school who doesn't know the meaning of pyromaniac and referred repeatedly to the skinny, just-planted trees around his house as "samplings." Inside his house, there are no books. No books!
Intellectual is too often used to describe one who is merely educated. Anyone can can buy a formal "education" but true intelligence can't be bought.
