I read that article this morning and was troubled, although it didn’t tell me anything I’d never heard before. I do like to think that I could spot a paper written by a Kenyan who never set foot in my class; the vocabulary and concepts would be unfamiliar. But maybe I’ve been duped dozens of times and never suspected.

I thought it was interesting that the Kenyan writer mentioned in the article spends time studying American idiom.
