Satoshi leaked his Los Angeles IP address (2016)

He wasn’t just using British spelling, but British coloquialisms that are not taught abroad. And he clearly wrote at a “native” level.

And he was active - writing commits and emails - in UK hours, not American hours.

Is it some kind of US nationalism that insists on ignoring all this?

> British coloquialisms that are not taught abroad

What are some examples of those?

He would use terms like "bloody hard" or "wet blanket" which I would doubt are taught to foreigners learning English even with British spelling.

However - his spelling was a bit inconsistent. The "Len Sassaman" theory is interesting - as he was known to write in a somewhat British style (for whatever reason) - but not consistently - and was in the right timezone at the time. Or perhaps Satoshi was a synthesis of multiple different people which would explain a lot of the inconsistency as well.

These coloquialisms are common in Africa/Asia. This is the case for most ex-colonies.
