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.

In DMs, I'm usually brief.

In posts and in speech I tend to ramble. I know I type like I speak because it's sounded out in my mental voice and I often put the wrong homophones without realizing (too, to, two, weather, whether, there, their). I try to edit it if I catch myself.

I don't use my country's vernacular unless I am talking to other New Zealanders.
