When I taught in a Hagwon in Korea in the early 2000's, New Brit, Aussie, Kiwi teachers etc were given compulsory American English 'pronunciation lessons' as part of our 'training'. 

These lessons were delivered by a Korean teacher.  She had never left Korea and was barely intelligible in English, let alone a model of any kind of pronunciation. 

It was a pretty good introduction to how that job was going to be.

Interesting CODA to this story if anyone is curious.Two years later,I get the following email from the same George dude:
"as I browse through my mailbox, I saw an undeleted mail. I remember you... the one with a master degree who can't get her writing right.
just to let you know that I refuse to dignify your shit because you lacked politeness, which I think did not reflect your level of education,
and years of experience. lol second of all, I was asked in behalf of that school to represent them in talking to a shit like you, and I was holding
myself and just passed it off to a friend of mine who laugh up at your writing considering that you claim to be a Brit.
You shouldn't be teaching with a terrible writing, and with a terrible attitude. anyhow, I am free to rain shit on you which I failed to do so at that
time because of being courteous to the school."
Letter is addressed "to the big head"??
Anyone up for a stylistic analysis of this? And it comes out of the blue,completely unsolicited.I mean why bother?
Is he bored?  mmmmmmmmmm

Maybe bored, drunk, maybe finding it harder to get a job due to his ethnicity and feeling bitter about it? (seems he's not working there anymore)  His English actually seems to have gotten worse, that email is all over the place:

Can you block his emails?  Or report them as Spam?

Reported as spam and then just got another one.Now set up a filter (apparently that's the only thing you can do) so his mails go right to the trash.
