I think you miss the point.
I wanted to listen to him and learn from him. The problem was that I could barely understand him for the first couple of weeks until I worked out his version of English.

Once we got past the language barrier I was okay with him, but it was a lot of work that should not have been necessary.

First couple of weeks?
Fucking hell. And you got to uni?

It's clearly not a very challenging degree.

It's not even a challenging university, being in the US.

Isn't that just a bit lazy?
I can understand that a lecturer with a strong accent might require more work on behalf of the listeners but if he is excellent at Maths, a qualified, good and likable teacher then he sounds fit for a lectureship at a US university to me.

Math, TFD, math.
Not maths. Math.

I apologise.

I don't care for that sort of talk Nucky and if you persist I'm going to have to become prejudiced against you and get so angry I'll jolly well post about it on an internet message board.
Take that you utter scoundrel.

Oh do calm down.
You're rather unsightly when you're excited.
