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.

Digitally, I can express myself more clearly, neatly, and capably (one could even say I feel more sober and not remotely in another state of mind), so I sound like a thesaurus saleswoman, but it's brought to my attention I have the same "mild valley girl idiosyncrasies" (like, I can't help that) along with everything else.
