My argument for atheism +

At work.

Belaqua's unique turns of phrasing and word usage, I would again hazard to guess.

Oh, that's interesting.

I wasn't aware that my English is odd at all. I try to use standard clear language.

It's possible that, as you say, I've been influenced by speaking Japanese most of the time. 

What comes across as "unique" to you?

That's the rather hard thing to do.

The only close thing I can relate is, again, other co-workers.

Interacting with some one who hails from Nigeria and then some one who hails from Ghana I can say that;

They both speak and use well the idioms of English.

However. Their colonial past has coloured some what the way and manner of how they were taught the skill.

Nigeria adds a wonderful 'French' lilt to their phrases. As that part of the world was rather heavily influenced by said French and their language descended as it is from the classic 'Romantic' languages.

Then there's Ghana. A land influenced by the British isles.

I suppose part of it would include not just particular word use but how they formed their overall sentences?

Sorry for seeming so vague.

Cheers.
