Oh, and another thing. First, he got confused about the day when we would be meeting. I offered Saturday, he agreed, but then later he thought that it was Friday. But OK, it was spoken over the phone, fine. Then, he said that he did not know at what time we are meeting, but I had already written 6PM in an email - that was written word. Weird. Then, he found it hard to comprehend my oral speech, and said that well, of course, you are not a native speaker. I have lived in this country for 20 years, I came to this country having already been an English teacher at a high school, and I have always received nothing but compliments on my vocab (well, it turns out I have big holes - LMAO etc. but you are helping me with these, thank goodness) and pronunciation. Of the many jobs that I have had, one was tutoring English at a Sylvan Learning Center, here in California. What center director would have put me in front of the kids had my English been unclear? This is ridiculous. Maybe the restaurant was loud, maybe A. is hard on hearing a bit - there are many possibilities that have nothing to do with me.

Pretentious is the word - all in all, looking back, I find him pretentious.
