RL Quirks

[crepuscularDissembler]

My speech often slips between various accents/styles between sentence fragments. One reads/sounds like modern slang, the next rather Shakespearean.
The other, and more readily obvious thing, is overuse/slight misuse of slash marks to combine/offer a choice between two or more things.

e: Oh, and I definitely overuse "also" and "anyways". There's also an interjection that we started using at my middle school that's spelled "uh-buh". It's kind of a rebuke? Basically no other word really fits the emotion so I still use it often. I use lowercase i if I'm feeling really guilty or sorry. Sometimes I start speaking in Spanish for no reason (I'm not horrifically annoying to talk to no shh).

I intentionally mispronounce words just to piss people off and I intentionally type without perfect spelling, pronounitation and grammar just to pisf people off .

Also, when other people think I'm lying, I intentienally sound like I'm lying just to piss people off?

[crash826]

I mispronounce normal words ALL THE TIME. Then I generally go into a momentary shamerage fit when I'm corrected.

Ditto.

Well, I'm from Sweden so my grammar and spelling is a bit off. But my best friend and I sprinkle our conversation with english words anyway, she because her swedish isn't perfect and I because I just can't find the exact right word in swedish.

I am a HORRIBLE typer. Just HORRIBLE. I re-read my comments and posts at least two times before I press send and I pretty much always edit my posts when I can. *shakes head* Stupid fingers.

I often feel inadequate when I use english; that my true intentions isn't showing, so I use a lot of smilies and "..." and caps lock and italics, and just a bunch of stuff to get my point cross.

I hate to chat because of my horrible typing, I just typo, TYPO EVERYWHERE. And also because I don't have time to think things through before I post.

Sometimes I use certain words way too often. Like "anyway", "although" and stuff. But I try to use correct punctiation (bluh spell?).

In real life...I speak way too fast and stumble over a lot of words. My family can't even hear what I'm saying most of the time, unless I'm putting effort in it. I also say "ehh" a lot.

[thehuw]

I have a feeling I may be a RL incarnation of Tavros... I go "um" ALL THE TIME. I also have a tendency to shout when talking to people for the first time. And I overuse the word "Gah". I've decided it probably means "oh well, at least nobody's died yet".

[pentopMountain]

Bad keyboards in the past years have had their effect on me.
I would normally type as I am now, but smtimes lik thiss f my keyboatd isnt workingg.
I used to use "" and "~". All the time.
but I would type like this when Im lazy
just capsing I and leaving everything else
not even an apostrophe

I use questions as answers on things like Facebook :U
Also, I still use emoticons a lot.

My friend's boyfriend recently began to chat me and I have just been appalled at his typing style. Not only does he use the word "chilling" to mean "hanging out", but he also inexplicably spells it "chylling." Aside from that, he abbreviates anything for which an abbreviation exists - "tho", "thx", the whole shebang.
For a time, one of my friends used "2" instead of "to", "two", or "too", but I think I talked some sense into her.

I don't know about my typing style personally. Sometimes I decide to use commas and sometimes not. But I try to use correct syntax most of the time.
When I'm talking I randomly lapse into all sorts of accents. I also trip over my own words a lot - when I realize I've done this, I make this garbled sound to indicate that I'm starting over. I'd record it or something but I can't make it happen deliberately.

But when I'm not typing, and actually talking, I use the word actually a lot, and a random Spanish accent would twist in, I guess that's a quirk.

Oh, actually, I heard that she actually thought that she would actually be able to actually date him!

Oh my god I saw this and I had to respond. This summer I took a figure-drawing class, and the instructor used "actually" wherever the average human being would use the word "like". He would actually put it where it didn't actually make actually sense. Also, during one-on-one art critiques, his catch phrase was "this is actually good", which meant he was actually about to tell you what was wrong with it.
He was eloquent, but certain things about his manner of speaking suggested that English was his second language, such as his accent and the fact that in the class syllabus he instructed us to put all cellphones "on a vibrator".

There are sure a lot of quotation marks in this post

[shieldman]

When I'm not actually (hee hee) being serious about something, I don't use much end-sentence punctuation, only smilies :3
They're essentially a period, and also a tone indicator :0
Mainly because I hate not having inflection on the internet >:I

[The Infernal One]

Aspergers.

Nuff said.

[ostensibleArchitect]

when i get excited i replace stuff with an ampersand in exactly the same way vriska replaces things with 8 when she's excited.

what I just said, with my qu&rk, would be:

when I get exc&ed, I repl&ce stuff with & & in ex&ctly the same way vriska repl&ces things with & when she's exc&ed.

stuff that's slightly similar to "and" gets changed, as well as all 8s because 8 looks like &.

I do this naturally, though it does coincide with any personas i adopt while RPing in my minecraft server.

[Basil]

I HAVE A LISP
STOP STARING AT ME

Okay not really. It's more like it mugs me from time to time.
BUT IT HAPPENS TOO MANY TIMES

[ostensibleArchitect]

i have a slight lisp

[recklessBlather]

I have a friend who would always start a conversation with a smiley.

It'd be ^_^ and I would usually post a -_- or =_= in response because I never felt like talking in IM.

Now that I think about it, it was a pretty jerkface response on my part. :<

[The Infernal One]

I talk really fast, never shut up, and am always bragging or arguing. My animal spirits are the cricket and squirrel.

[Okkopa]

When I speak my accent and language can be all over the place since I'm from New Zealand, moved to UK and I know Maori, Afrikaans and such so I ends up in a massive jumble, especially when I'm tired. It's really kind of a mess.

With actual typing I used 'aiight' a lot and ':l' with a lowercase L rather than ':T', ':I' or ':|' like most people do. :l I also over use it. :l
Another thing I tend to do is replace 'i' with 'o' if I'm just typing fast and not thinking about it so I end up sending works like 'probobly' or 'oncensotove'. It's not all the time but it has become increasingly worst unless I check my posts. Like I am now. :l

[slyfan64]

I get the hiccups after pretty much every meal and you will here me say "etc. etc." quite a lot...also I overuse...ellipses points (and parentheses).

[nocturnalViolet]

Let's see...

Typing Quirks:
I abuse ellipses, :/, and , among other things. orz, ;;, ^^, arrows and ( gets added to the list when I'm typing in Japanese.
Sometimes I accidentally press enter instead of '. This only happens when it's hard to see the keyboard, though.
Speaking of which, "though", "but", "and", etc. are just some of my overused expressions. There's probably more but I can't think of anything else at the moment.

Talking Quirks:
I mumble a lot, which may or may not be limited to when I'm talking in Chinese.
I probably have some kind of accent when I talk in English (or any other language, really) but it's kind of hard to explain.
I also tend to add adjectives to the end of the sentence for no particular reason. It just pops up and I have to say it.
(So it's something like: "The rope was 3 meters long. Almost.")
And then my voice goes up whenever I'm answering a question in class or answering the phone. Don't know the logic behind this one, either.

[SpearmePlease]

Actual typing quirk? :/

Well when I am typing in chats, I tend to end my statements pretty frequently with an emoticon. :O

I guess that could be a quirk? ^^;

[The Dr.]

I tend to emulate my accent in the way I type subconsciously, in such a way that a phrase like "I suppose" will come out as "s'pose", or "I don't know" I'll type as "Iunno".

As for conversational quirks... er, I guess I kinda use unnecessarily eloquent rhetoric in situations that don't demand it at all. I end up confusing my friends more often than not, which kind of leads me to being the walking dictionary for everyone to refer to. It's kinda depressing thinking that I actually confuse people with my language, I dunno. Stay in school, kids!

[kholhaus]

Real life quirk...

I tne-- TEND to stutter the second word in my sentences.

After whtha-- WHICH I tend to speak completely perfectly.

It's usually because I think of at least 5 different ways to say what i'm trying to say.

[MeiMei]

Sometimes I say 'meiself' and 'meine' and 'mei', inserting my nickname into my possessives. Cause, I am quite clever, if I mei say so meiself.
