The use of [[British English]] in both source code comments and forum postings, such as the expression "[[bloody]] hard", terms such as "[[Apartment|flat]]" and "[[Mathematics|maths]]", and the spellings "grey" and "colour",<ref name="NY2011"/> led to speculation that Nakamoto, or at least one individual in a consortium claiming to be him, was of [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] origin.{{r|Wired}}{{r|"whitepaper"}}{{r|"betabeat"}} The reference to London's ''Times'' newspaper in the first bitcoin block mined by Nakamoto suggested to some a particular interest in the British government.<ref name="NY2011">{{Cite magazine |last=Davis |first=Joshua |date=10 October 2011 |title=The Crypto-Currency: Bitcoin and its mysterious inventor |url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/10/10/the-crypto-currency |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141101014157/http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/10/10/the-crypto-currency |archive-date=1 November 2014 |access-date=31 October 2014 |magazine=The New Yorker |df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Pagliery |first=Jose |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_-wuBAAAQBAJ |title=Bitcoin: And the Future of Money |date=2014 |publisher=Triumph Books |isbn=9781629370361 |access-date=20 January 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180121071329/https://books.google.com.au/books?id=_-wuBAAAQBAJ |archive-date=21 January 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref>
Stefan Thomas, a Swiss [[software engineer]] and active community member, graphed the timestamps for each of Nakamoto's bitcoin forum posts (more than 500); the chart showed a steep decline to almost no posts between the hours of 5 a.m. and 11 a.m. [[Greenwich Mean Time]] (or midnight to 6 a.m. [[Eastern Standard Time]]). This was between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. [[Japan Standard Time]], suggesting an unusual sleep pattern for someone supposedly living in Japan. As this pattern held even on Saturdays and Sundays, it suggested that Nakamoto was consistently asleep at this time.<ref name=Wired/>
