In what ways does your internet dialect differ from your IRL dialect?

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’m a lot more polite, and I generally don’t swear on the internet. Irl I’m not family friendly at all. If I were in a TV show my only lines would be “bleeeeep bleep bleeeep bleep”

Hah! Same with the IRL potty-mouth. People who I got to meet in person after having known me online expected someone really self-effacing and soft-spoken. Of course they were shocked at how salty my mouth can be.

I do keep my f-bombs precise though, for maximum impact.
