I was very amused to be told off, first time since school, at my age!! I like to think in this age of LOL's and WTF's, I am just 'down with the kids' by not caring, grins.
I do think that you may be putting too much importance on his choice of words. He could've been nervous speaking to you, and just wanting to get his words out.. or even if he's simply not a wordsmith, it doesn't mean he might not have a lot to offer you :-)

Thank you, Riotgirl. I wrote to him offering my free time.
FarmerGirl, I used to teach GMAT prep whose one component is Sentence Correction. One of the topics was countable/uncountable nouns (fewer people/less water). I also taught SAT prep and tutored middle schoolers (English/Math). But even before doing all that I hated this mistake.
In my defense, in all other areas I am non-judgmental.
