pseudo-intellectual

Implying the false display intelligence, this is a term correctly applied to people who lie about their own intellectual background, claim to have studied matters they haven't, to have read books they haven't, et cetera.

A great majority of Internet users, however, are fond of using the term incorrectly to, often anti-intellectually, refer to those whose phraseology annoys them.

Sudo-intellect

Sudo-intellects are people who believe their intelligence and understanding of things is supreme. Be cautious of debating with these people, they will often ignore your logic or simply turn a blind eye to it. Be careful that you are not one. Keep an open mind, for the world is purpose of perspective.
Religion inspires sudo-intellects, but so do lots of things.

Someone who does not consider they are wrong or someone else is right or at least something in between is a sudo-intellect.
