    pineapple on pizza was “offensive”

    Stop being a pretentious twat and do your job or get sacked for refusing to do it.

          Your mastery of the English language needs work. My usage is acceptable within the context.

          To explain further, the two sentences can be reworked as “he can be a pretentious twat when he starts his own pizza place”. The connection is implied and it works because English is three languages in a trenchcoat. Or was it four?

            Given you are talking about “mastery” of the English language: a semicolon might have made your first message more readable; a period makes the two sentences appear as separate statements.

              Yeees, but they were in the same paragraph. So they were connected statements.

              Now that you mention it… I see it.

              But I’m going to be a pretentious twat and ignore that. 😗

                No worries. You were very kind in suggesting US English was only a few languages in a trenchcoat. We all know it’s actually several, bastardized, broken, and beer-battered before being deep-fried in bullshit. 😋
