Something that always made me think Satoshi was American was his use of the American English spelling of certain words. Your emails show an example like American spelling Organization instead of the British spelling Organisation. But the Genesis block British headline threw me off. Back in the day I just figured he was an American living in England. But I didn't really care. Back then, nor today, did I use my real name on any internet correspondence that wasn't work or finance related. I was compartmentalizing or practicing separation of concerns since I got on the internet in the early 90s and just thought everyone else did as well. My only regret was treating bitcoin as an IT curiosity early 2011 instead of taking it seriously.
He spells colour correctly though ๐Ÿ˜‰. The default is always American English so the fact he has changed it at all would imply he is not American or it's more than one person. The first time he says organize is between two times he says colour and the second time says colour is a month later. Seems like it could be more than one person or hes switching computers set up for different types of English.
