> 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.
