You're imagining things. It's of course a good idea to avoid obscure local idioms, but "nope" is not in the least problematic in this respect, and certainly does not imply any native speaker superiority in ordinary usage. Your harping on this issue is merely bizarre, and if you're genuinly worried about poor hapless non-natives with their tenuous grasp on the intricacies of English, I suggest instead of these peculiar tirades you work on your sentence construction. -- Aatu Koskensilta (aatu.koskensilta@uta.fi) "Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man schweigen." - Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
