What about somebody ( other than a Korean ) who can speak Korean?
= = = = = = = = =
Can’t you sometimes spot it though by the way the sentence is worded?
Good example is of the emails one gets from supposed American GI’s that have found 400zillion in gold they want to give to YOU (and anyone else who maybe in their ‘BCC list’).. “I American Soldier Capt John Smith American Army posted in Iraq etc etc etc”.....that is when you say - where is that delete button...(actually when the Headline reads “I want to give you 400zillion or even 50 bucks”- time to move on.....
I have had ‘people’ tell me they were American born, schooled, as their parents were and start spelling with a u where we don’t put them - armour, labour etc etc and using the term ‘flat’, ‘hostel’ (in a casual way - not trying to show how ‘worldly’ they are).
I told one of them that if they are going to try and stick to that story (American all the way) better throw in they went ‘abroad’ to school or backpacked through Europe for 5 or 6 years...
Then again, why would someone want to hide the fact they are ‘English’??????

Yeah, but look at early 20th century American horror author H.P. Lovecraft, a hardcore Anglophile; you can read any of his stories and it jumps right off the page at you, along with a good many uses of obsolete British spellings in his stories as well.
