46. So what was your point in just putting those quotes around the two words - middle class?

In your reply, you seemed to convey a sense of surprise in the fact that rich people's kids move to other countries to get middle class jobs. I was conveying the message that the people under discussion were not rich, but middle class, and their kids were moving to other countries where middle class jobs paid salaries with more purchasing power. Quite a natural and normal thing to do, and something that should occasion no sense of surprise.

Were you acknowledging the correctness of this point? If so, I regret that I misread your intentions.
