Anime shirt, says "desu" "kawaii" "ugu~" etc, attends anime conventions, when in Disney World goes to Japan thing in Epcot, goes on an imageboard, listens to J-Core/Pop/Jock, draws anime, likes Japanese food, wishes they were Japanese.  Actually, Encyclopedia Dramatica has a whole list on it.

Try speaking American. It's the only language I understand.

Say that to the British.  You will get the best reactions.  Even better than asking if the current temperature is in Fahrenheit when you're in Canada.

Look here:

somehow MySQL got uninstalled, taking all our databases with it. We had a backup from Oct. 7, which is good.

Threads made after that time do not exist anymore.  A few other threads went away too.

Actually, Webster's first dictionaries were called American, as it contained American definitions of slang and words used differently than in England.

Anyways, you shouold be able to tell if you listen to person after a little while.
