You can be a Szechenyi Professzor (some kind of academic rank) but this does not mean that you have manners, as the following example shows. I received this email from one of my professors after I had made my third inquiry about my results which is his duty to announce without any request. One can never be so busy that (s)he cannot find time to paraphrase a grammatically/formally correct sentence. Hence I regard this as a lack of respect and therefore I feel entitled to publish this private letter.
