You might want to read what kddani and I said. We didn't use the word "ridiculous," but I think it was clear we both thought this was not worth worrying about.

I said it only sounds pretentious if you say it pretentiously. I did not say that people will never react negatively, however unreasonable or unwarranted that reaction might be.

You said you don't say it pretentiously (meaning, presumably, it doesn't sound pretentious when you say it), but some people still react negatively "even if you are not snobby about it." So what you said doesn't in the least disprove what I said. It simply proves that some people react in unwarranted ways.
