Hey I'm new [ New here ]

What's up everyone, I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say hey. Hopefully I posted this in the right section!

Nice to meet you! Are you a foreigner? I'm curious then how it happened that you should find this forum - just in search for a place to have a chat with us, locals)?

Where are you from, Rep?

It's better to say not "I'm curious" but "I wonder" and not "should find" but "found" or "came across".
And what do you mean by saying "locals"?

Hello! I am glad to see you here!

As for "came across" - I can agree, perhaps, that it looks sort of more idiomatic, but why is it so much better to use "I wonder" instead of "I'm curious"? The same applies to my "should-phrase" which, I'm sure, is both grammatically and combinatorially correct.
Thank you for your observation anyway - I'm not really in the habit of arguing on the slippery questions of compatability unless armed with a heavy dictionary, but we have a native here as far as I understand) Rep, a wonderful opportunity for you to be of assistance!;)


By "locals" I meant us - those on the forum.
