LOL!

I'm almost certain it has to be better than the guys that start teaching two
weeks after they get off the boat from Iran (my experience 20 years ago).
It doesn't really matter where they come from; it's just that English is by
far a second (distant) language to them.  It must be really something to be
in a strange land and have an entire class looking at each other and look at
the instructor with no idea of what he just said.

You'd think that after you paid good money on tuition, that the university
could find someone capable of teaching the courses and speaking proper
English.  I guess some profs can't be bothered with teaching undergrads.

Anyway, the British accent is one of the more pleasant accents, IMO.  Is LSU
"Louisiana ..."?  If so, then no wonder!  The British accent is probably
about as bad to you as is the midwestern accent!

> * = "splat" in his class

I've *always* hated "splat".  It makes me want to reach for a fly swatter or
something.  Call it "star" or "asterisk" or get out of programming!  <g>
