I hate it when people use "former" this way (referring to a living person):
"He was a former school teacher."
No, he *is* a former school teacher. Possibly, the sentence above could mean that he is now once again a school teacher --
-- or that he is now dead, but, after his teaching career, he *was* a former school teacher.
Got it?
