There are consistent words that get dropped for different languages. For a very simple example, iirc, most Slavic language don't have a word for "is," or articles, so if the author says "dog brown" instead of "the dog is brown," they probably originally speak some Slavic language (or something with similar features). You're correct it's not conclusive, but it's also not about dropping random words.
- capableweb 5y ago> There are consistent words that get dropped for different languages This is a bit of my point. If I'm from Uruguay (and not native English speaker) and I want to to be a anonymous user that wants to pretend to actually be Slavic, I can easily look up common mistakes (like missing `is`) in order to foster the image of me being from somewhere I'm not. Typing in a way you don't usually type is a common way to mask more of your identity.
