AI analysis of Nakamoto's spelling …. Whitepaper, Emails, SourceForge

The inconsistent spelling is often noted by those performing linguistic analysis, with different theories proposed to explain the phenomenon:

Canadian English: One hypothesis is that Nakamoto was Canadian, as Canadian English commonly combines British and American spelling rules. However, this theory does not fully account for all of Nakamoto's spelling inconsistencies.

Operational security: Another theory suggests Nakamoto deliberately varied their spelling to obscure their true identity. According to this idea, a native American English speaker would have to deliberately remember to use British spelling, and minor slip-ups would be unavoidable.

Multi-national team: Some have speculated that Nakamoto was not a single person but a team of people from different countries, with each member having a different linguistic background.

Multicultural individual: Nakamoto could have been an individual who was influenced by both British and American spelling, possibly from living in or having worked with people from different English-speaking countries.
