I may be thick, or just British, but I simply do not understand the logic of this sentence. Or is that the point? I could understand you had me with …, but you had me at …? Is she talking about a class he held or something? Can someone please enlighten me / translate for me?

Will, I took it to be a play on that line “You had me at hello” from the movie “Jerry Maguire.”

So maybe not so much thick as culturally ignorant (or too old). I did some googling around and see what you mean. Thanks for putting me out of my misery.

I have to say, though, correct spelling and grammar are very attractive. Especially in this age, where everything is done by text, email, etc. When someone uses the correct ‘your’ or ‘their,’ I get very excited.
