Her slides had an example from a UK corpus that would be highly

unlikely in the US:  {tort, taught}.

 

Japanese English is much better than it used to be, but it still

has L/R confusions.

 

Instead of a single corpus, it would be useful to have a set of

corpora for authors with different backgrounds.

 

Voila!  The USPTO patent corpus has lots of examples, from lots of authors,
in lots of technical fields, where jargon could be detected.
