ooh. Your preferred answer to #1 and #2 wasn't offered, because I'm not sure how that's possible, except perhaps in the tightestest POV/focalization situation where every single word is filtered through the character alone (and then, to what degree is the narration independent from the nationality of the focalizer/POV-character?) - and surely that's not the only option for writing well? Or is it? Possible? Or the only option? Teeelll me, I'm curious. (Unless, of course, you're trying to tell me that using nationality as shorthand for language/dialect/language variant is kind of silly, which, of course, it is, in a way.)

We are nothing if not adaptable. We can understand all of it.

heee.
