Two years ago,
I 1. (was hired) by an American bank. I 2. (had received)
a letter from the head of the bank. That 3. (started),
“Dear Nick, I 4. (am <span><span>quite </span>pleased) that you 5.
(have decided) to join us”. That “quite” 6. (depressed) me. Then I
7. (discovered) that in American English “quite”
sometimes 8. (means) ”very ”, whereas in British English it
9. (means) “fairly”.</span>
