Both words are loaded, "cultivate" more than "civilized", to my mind. They describe a division between people who consider themselves better than you and people who you consider to be worse than you. Everybody who is not a cannibal is more civilized than a cannibal, granted, but there are cannibals who are more civilized than those nasty uncivilized cannibals who eat the parts that any civilized cannibal turns his nose up at.

- The cultivated are even worse.
- They know what tie to wear or what power jewelry, but very few of them can spell, in my experience.
