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.

    I mostly communicate in English online. Even when I don’t use English, my online communication still tend to use more English loanwords. It is also a bit formal and diplomatic, without much use of online abbreviations and other shortcuts.

    IRL, it’s my native tongue, with a smattering of English words and phrases. It tends to be more informal and direct as well. However, I don’t think I use a lot of colloquialisms, slang and the like, even if my IRL speech gets really informal.
