I posted it here for a minute then deleted. But if you want it that badly I’ll do it again. This is my dessert today.

Only Chassidish posters say “as a girl” when referring to their single years. Kind of a translation from Yiddish.

I think it's more likely that if someone's native tongue is not English, she would transliterate Hebrew or Yiddish words or misspell English words in a manner consistent with her native tongue. For example, someone once wrote to me that "the majer was a woman." At first I thought she meant a military officer with the rank of major. As this seemed like a bit of a non sequitur, I cast about for another explanation and came up with the Yiddish word 'macher' . In Spanish the 'j' is pronounced like "kh", and in the given context this interpretation made sense. She was clearly talking about a person of some prominence. But her native tongue being German, use of the 'J' for the "kh" sound did not make sense. The J in German is pronounced like a Y, and eventually I figured out that she meant that the mayor of the town was a woman. |
You are quite the English major!

Yes, this. Can't think of other examples off the cuff right now, but it is usually either certain words or phrases that come off a bit stilted in English, rather than their spelling or grammar.
In another vein, sometimes posters describe themselves as being part of a specific community, only they get enough of the nuances wrong that it seems really doubtful. Like, they have a superficial grasp of it, but it comes across as an outsider's view and not an insider's.

True, but I'm talking about posts where, for example, people claim to have grown up in a yeshivish family and community but so many details they post don't make sense, a lot of the nuances they describe are just off.

Didn’t read the whole thread, but yes I can usually tell.
Mainly can almost always spot if they’re Chassidish.

I'm dumbfounded. By this thread and the thread linked-where the op was banned.
Some of you have that 6th sense which I clearly DON'T have.
When I post anonymous, I don't think so much that people shouldn't figure out my background (I think there's enough of all walks on here) but rather shouldn't figure out who I really am, aka, my sn, by my writing style. Though I'm not sure I'm successful. Ha
I think I write very simple and don't alter so much under anon, making it easy to be identified. Or I'm simply self conscious. Haha don't mind me
