Maybe say you studied XYZ, and not use the terms BA or BSc, or whatever's appropriate?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that's fair, Aimee -- I'm not sure what else to recommend. You're not claiming to have degrees.
Mr Broom -- to expand -- since Americans sometimes voice their Ts, is it strictly correct to say that voicing it makes it a D? It's a T pronounced like a D. Although I flipped the bit, that was what I was intending to distinguish between.

Oh, it definitely is. In most cases, T just becomes a flap, particularly between vowels, but in more lax pronunciation, it becomes a full-on voiced interdental stop: "hurting" and "herding" are homophonous to many Americans.

My middle school english teacher spent a whole marking period on proper pronunciation.
"woulddenshoo" drove her batshit crazy.

My middle school english teacher spent a whole marking period on proper pronunciation. "woulddenshoo" drove her batshit crazy.I once made a list of utterances that have become single words. "Let's go" and "Did you eat?" are the only ones I can still remember: "sko" and "jeet?"
I am myself guilty of both of these, so it's more an objective list.

Heh. Had I known for certain it was that sort of crowd tonight, I'd have said "intervocalically" rather than "between vowels." ;p

Oh David, if only you'd said, "You'll sweep."
