Oh sorry, that’s the abbreviation for Master of Arts, the degree that I got. I spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME reading deliberately obscure language that is designed (in my opinion) to gatekeep. And this is coming from someone who loves fun vocabulary words. But the way so much academic work is written, you have to “be in the club” to understand it at all, and now I have a kneejerk aversion to that type of writing, whether or not the content is good. It sounds like I’m anti-education, and I’m not! I really just think that academic writing has turned into some kind of acrobatics where you’re just showing off for the other people in the “in crowd” rather than trying to convey an idea.
