Yet 12-year-olds in Singapore are expected to know these subtle differences. Many consider English as their native language even though we speak horrible English known as Singlish haha

quirky, but eccentric is okay, too. give us 15 years and weird might work.

Thank you for responding!
I get the idea that eccentric is used to describe people’s old habits.
(of a person or their behaviour) unconventional and slightly strange

eccentric definitely has an "odd" flavor, but it's sometimes positive as in "unique." quirky is mostly positive and more lighthearted.

Yes! there's maybe an edge to the uniqueness but it's mostly positive.
