Yep, you nailed it. As a teacher, I experience ultracrepidarianism regularly - especially from extended family members who at Sunday lunch will declare that they 'know all about education and how to fix it' - simply because they attended school. I get it - after all, I've been on many airplanes and have even had a couple of surgeries, so I guess I'm qualified to comment on airplane design and surgical techniques. Ugh.
Why I can't talk myself into twitter. I know, I know, how can I not be on the social media platform that all writers are said to have to participate in? Every time I consider creating an account, I back away as if I'm facing waters with thousands of sharks circling, awaiting my jump.

Totally on board with this, looking forward to more thoughts.
