do you talk differently in person compared to on here?

Dopameme · March 23, 2015, 08:08:05 PM

i've wondered this myself for some time and i find that i definitely speak with less slang and a little more intelligence when i'm typing compared to when i'm speaking to someone.

i also call my friends nigga

Basically.
I write some more words than I like saying out loud.

Rinev · March 23, 2015, 08:12:24 PM

Not that differently. I swear more here than I do in person.

The Lord Ruler · March 23, 2015, 08:12:40 PM

Onion · March 23, 2015, 08:12:48 PM

Zizzy · March 23, 2015, 08:46:16 PM

90% of the time I type in an American accent. If I typed like I talk a lot of you wouldn't understand it.. ( case in point, earlier when I called someone a ladjo).

Not Comms Officer · March 23, 2015, 08:53:48 PM

Eh, it entirely depends on who I'm talking to in the internet or real life.

Verbatim · March 23, 2015, 08:54:17 PM

Like, not really?

If anything, my Internet persona is me, cubed. But I think that's more a result of the people I choose to surround myself with. Offline, though I'm quiet, I tend to be the dominant person in a conversation, just like I am here, but I can't say I've ever really went out of my way to insult or hurt someone's feelings, if I ever find myself in the middle of an argument with someone--because people tend to be a lot more courteous offline.

I'm sure if people acted as stupid offline as they do online, I'd probably be just as vituperative as well.

Naoto · March 23, 2015, 08:59:19 PM

Nope. I totes carry emoticon flash cards and have gifs que'd on my phone.
Also say totes and pleb all the time because I'm an obnoxious fgt.

I'm actually kinda quiet. Guess I'm pretty introverted. I can usually make people laugh tho.

R o c k e t · March 23, 2015, 09:01:20 PM

I speak mostly the same. I might make more crude jokes online than I do in person.

True Turquoise · March 23, 2015, 09:01:43 PM

Oh shit

Yeah I hold up anime reaction images on a tablet

You sound less annoying in the vocaroo threads. Literally the best compliment I can give you.

Ushan · March 23, 2015, 09:08:05 PM

I speak less formally.

alphy · March 23, 2015, 09:33:42 PM

not really, i type how i speak, so i tend to use words like whatchu and tryna and stuff

that too, i also tend to be unsure of myself, so i used things like "...or something" or "...and stuff"

I use a lot of "filler words" in sentences, something I've noticed.

stuff like:

possibly
probably
something like that

and I'll throw something random on the end of a sentence sometimes. Not sure why, I just do :/
