I taught all last year at a university in the U.S.

Oldchap (23:49:30)
Well that's a line of argumentation that no one can ever win, so... pointless. But I am honestly expressing who I am to you, as I did years ago when Serp questioned me profusely about it all.

mirrorbird (23:49:14)
yes, that's what i'm getting at, cleraly you have been prof somewhere.

mirrorbird (23:48:41)
but you're not -- well you wouldn't tell me if you were

Oldchap (23:48:39)
10 years ago in a different city here, I taught English at a university.

Oldchap (23:48:24)
There's an American university here (so clearly I'm not the only foreigner around) but I haven't pursued a teaching position.
