Do these mean the same? If not, what is the difference in translation and grammar? If you can, please give me some examples. Thank you!

Just out of curiosity, Mr. P, how do you distinguish a native speaker who's learned a non-standard form of English from a decent non-native speaker? (e.g. How can you tell if a speaker born in India, Singapore or other Asian countries is native?) MrPedantic wrote: 1. Discrepancies of register....
