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.

It's an entirely different langauge ...

This exactly. Bold of OP to assume that English is everyone’s first language.

Did op edit the post? He didn’t mention specific language at all from what I can see now. Or maybe he said so in a comment elsewhere?

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
