Can a native speaker of English be disappointed 'at' someone?
I've read somewhere that you usually say: be dissppointed in smb but at smth. Therefore, I've got a question. Can you be disappointed in smth and at smb? If anyone said something like: I was really disappointed in him, would it sound strange to you?
