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.

      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.

        But you do you homie

      Same here, but it still has affected my day to day. After attending a primarily english school and consuming english media, I end up codeswitching despite not having lived in an english speaking country. Annoys my friends. Though in my defense, I did work in a call center for a while, and that job only worsened it.
