Was he French by any chance? They do refer to "nauts" (as in nautical miles / milles nautiques) which spoken with a slight French accent sounds similar to "knots" (and spoken with a thick French accent sounds similar to "my cat ate your dog", but I digress).
That still doesn't explain the use of "nauts/knots per hour". If it was the latter, I (as a hypothetic student) would have probably cancelled the course, as it shows ignorance of a very basic concept, and would have got me wondering what else he doesn't know that he is supposed to teach me. If he was unreceptive to criticism (assuming a tactful approach, of course) that would make me particularly concerned.
On a different note:
And I will say again for the last time.....
Thank for that! You were becoming a bit repetitive there.
He who is without sin cast the first stone.
I'm an atheist and therefore have no concept of sin. Does that count? Oh, disregard, don't really want to know.
