I seem to have run into a Russian teacher of English who thinks she is the be-all and end-all when it comes to British English grammar. She is absolutely insisting that the sentence below is wrong, wrong, wrong, according to British grammatical rules governing stative verbs.

> 
> It is closer I think to what Giancarlo was wanting to say.
> 
> 
> 

I say there is nothing wrong with the sentence.

Your verdict, please.
