It just occurred to me that my internet dialect in my IRL dialect are slightly different in a few ways. Curious to hear others dialectal differences and thoughts on the subject.
It’s an entirely different langauge …
This exactly. Bold of OP to assume that English is everyone’s first language.
Please quote me where i specified a language.
Instead of making a shitty comment you could have said “While i speak different languages online and IRL, online i am argumentative, direct, and abrasive whereas when i’m speaking in-person i am often indirect and gentle because i prefer to avoid confrontation” which would have been more to the tune of discussing dialects in different situations.

I’ve noticed there are a lot of German speakers on Lemmy, compared to other European languages. I’m curious, it a coincidence y’all ended up here, or was there early adoption in Germany for a more organized reason?
I’ve actually been told multiple times that I type exactly how I talk! Once was by a boss and I don’t think he meant it as a compliment though…
Picked up the annoying milennial habit of adding 😂 to everything a couple years back when I started hanging out too much with cross stitchers on Instagram though.
