None. However, sometimes they do follow a name as I said. Eric's posts show the letters "nz" after his name. This tells me he is not posting from the US, but is posting from a country where English is the native language.Tony CooperSandman
It is not at all unusual to be in an exchange with a European non-native English speaker who is at the 90-some percent level or above in English proficiency. Sometimes is only those letters after the name in the "From" line by which you know the writer may not be a native speaker.
What letters do you have after your name, to signal the same thing?
I add a sig line that tells people where I am, but it does not state that I am a native speaker of English. It does imply that I am, and you may infer that I am.
