I am not saying I am Wicked Smaht or anything, just that I am a freaking control freak, and if a T can't handle simple words, they sure as heck aren't going to be able to handle me.

You don't sound stuck up. I am the same. T and I discuss word definitions a lot, and it's important for me to have a T who is interested in language and words, and who speaks like an academic (and that probably makes me sound stuck up...) My situation is a little peculiar because I do therapy in a language where I'm not a native speaker, and my T who is a native speaker has lived in this country for over 40 years, so we both sometimes search for words, or substitute a term in Swedish.
(In the letter I gave to T last week I mentioned that I tend to prevaricate around the bush. I didn't make that one up myself, though.)
