Why are the British confused about us calling bread rolls ābiscuitsā when they call bread rolls āpuddingsā?
We arenāt, and we donāt. You are misinformed. In Britain, the word ābiscuitā means a hard baked cookie, like a graham cracker. Since this is the normal use of this word in the UK, we donāt automatically think of the plain scone-type baked goods for which Americans use the word ābiscuitā. US EnglishUnfold thinking...

In Britain, the word ābiscuitā means a hard baked cookie, like a graham cracker. Since this is the normal use of this word in the UK, we donāt automatically think of the plain scone-type baked goods for which Americans use the word ābiscuitā. US English is a different dialect of English, and there are many words which have different meanings from U.K. English (jumper, braces, suspenders, tap etc.)
What on earth makes you think we call bread rolls āpuddingsā? In the U.K., pudding is any dessert, not just the blancmange-stuff which Americans use that word for. It is correct in the U.K. to say āIām having apple pie for pudding.ā.

You are correct that both are understandable. The only other possible everyday meaning I could think of would be āI see him [in my mindās eye] last nightā; that is, I am, at this very moment, imagining him last night. But it should almost always be clear from context which one is intended. āCorrectāUnfold thinking...

āCorrectā doesnāt mean āunderstandableā, though. If I say āMe want have foodingā itās pretty clear what to understand from that, but itās not anywhere near correct Standard English grammar. If you lived somewhere where you spoke a dialect of English in which this was acceptable grammar, however, then it would be correct for that dialect.

No, āI see him last nightā is always incorrect and will be only just barely understandable. It is a very serious and basic error, and it will be tiring for a native speaker to converse with someone who speaks like this, because they will constantly have to be remembering what the person really meansUnfold thinking...

It is a very serious and basic error, and it will be tiring for a native speaker to converse with someone who speaks like this, because they will constantly have to be remembering what the person really means. It will not be āimmediately obvious without thinking about itā.
Someone just asked this question recently, and I replied, saying that āI see him last nightā is never correct. That is exactly what i meant.

Yes, I understand it. I hear a lot of this incorrect grammar from my wife. I would expect that the person that spoke this was possibly Chinese. In Chinese there are no tenses or plurals. No he or she pronouns. The context tells all. So it might have been a direct translation from Chinese.

I actually had someone do that to me in a face-to-face and thatās how they worded it. It was supposed to be 3 steps in the interview and after 20 minutes they decided I wasnāt suited for them*. I was actually grateful that they chose not to waste my time going through the motions.

If you are not willing to move on with the interview you can openly say it, but sugar coating that hit with some advice is a nice thing to do.

The next 2 questions were in that same direction, with them knowing that Iād already said I wasnāt particularly fluent in that area but they kept on. At that point I said, āLetās just stop here. We both know that Iām not doing well answering your questions and to be honest, that youāre restating the same topic after being told that already I donāt know probably means we wouldnāt be a good fit.ā Too many people forget that itās a two-way street and they seems shocked that anyone would actually end their interview.

I have left Google twice, both times for Apple, in both cases Apple was a competing organization, in all cases I had a good talk with my managers up and HR discying opportunities in Google, in both cases I was not escorted, I was given two weeks to talk more and to complete my project. I left in good terms with all my friends, managers and Google. Google is very fair organization, it treats people extremely well . I can imagine that some department might be supersecret and they will do it, but I was working for core search quality which is secretive too and I was asked to leave.

It was my understanding that Google practically had a policy of counter-offering anyone who got an offer from Facebook, and that seeking an offer from Facebook was a strategy Googlers used to up their compensation.
Ironically, Facebook had the opposite policy: If you get an offer from elsewhere, it was Facebookās policy not to counter-offer. Facebookās view is that if they start counter-offering, they will get into a compensation arms race. And besides, if you really want to go work somewhere else, then maybe you should. There are lots of people who would love to work at Facebook; they donāt need to try to convince you to stay if you want to leave. And if youāre just bluffing, well good on them for not falling for it.
