[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2264685, member: 372207"] Not fishing, but I'd be lying if I said I don't enjoy the compliments! But there are many dead give-aways in my posts that I'm not a native, especially in the structure of my sentences and in a choice of words that aren't so much wrong, but just slightly off or unusal. I simply have a much smaller collection of words to choose from than a native. My freely using American and English English at the same time is a strong pointer as well of course, impossible for me to separate the two. Dutch schools seem to favour 'proper' English, but I learned most by reading and music. I don't usually notice if I'm reading English or American writers. I mean, who cares, when you just want to know if the dragon will need to be slain or if it turns out to be a friend to the protagonist? [/QUOTE]
