How to recognize a Sri lankan?

I found nice article on above topic and down here I'm posting some tips to recognize a Sri lankan based on an article All about Sri Lanka . •People assume a child educating well is going to become a doctor or an engineer. •His/Her parents enjoy comparing He/She to their friends’ kids. •His/Her parents say, “Difficult? Its a work of 2nd grade![Amaruda? ayyo oka 2e panthiye wadak ne!]” . •His/Her parents buy them clothes and shoes a few sizes too big so He/She can “grow into it.” •He/She are capable of eating an entire meal, including rice, using only His/Her right hand. •He/She’ve been asked in TAMIL 'don't you understand Sinhala?'(Sinhala theriya ille?) •If there is a sale on any item, He/She buy 100 of them. •He/She’ve learned to keep bargaining even if the prices are rock bottom. link to full article
