RL Quirks

[Rippentaire]

My first experience with chatting it up online was with an email penpal, with no chance of editing or correcting myself once the message is sent, so it seems from that point on I would always tend to talk in long ass sentences and send long ass messages.

It's bothersome when I'm on a chat program and I feel the urge to type an entire paragraph before hitting enter. I have to push myself to be concise and to the point.

[jahw]

When I used to play Roblox (back before capitalism happened to it), I would end every single sentence with "". I guess that counts.

[zimzap]

the closest thing to quirk I've ever had not on purpose is never starting with a capital but any other time afterwards that requires it will be. I also tend to put actions and emotions in :colons: because of all the time I spend on dA.

[Cetus Amicus]

Skipping words and forgetting plurals because I'm always thinking of my sentences in my head as I type them resulting in me assuming I've typed a word that I've actually missed because I was thinking faster than typing.

[KawaiiCupcakez]

Mine is well....Posting a bunch of periods....Dammit I keep doing it....

[Tellycommet]

sometimes i forget i'm on caps after a game or something and i just suddenly start screaming at the end of the sentence but can you imagine that in a conversation i mean really. "hey my name's ASHLEY WHATS YOURS?" yeah ok, not that big a deal.

[freaki]

well, even Before homestuck l would type a lowercase "L" instead of an uppercase I due to laziness, and would often Capitalize random words in sentences where they really weren't needed.

[Freack]

I will Over Capitalize for Emphasis. Not Too Often, but When I Get Into a Habit of it, It is Difficult to Stop.

[Nar]

well when not on a forum, i don't capitalize or punctuate anything
i just use line breaks to avoid confusion
but i still use commas and apostrophes, as well as proper spelling

Although, I've noticed that I tend to spam the :U face when not careful. :U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U:U

[unbeliever536]

If I'm trying to get a lot of information into a post, my sentences get kind of long and rambly; I also use a lot of "hedge" phrases so as to avoid being/seeming wrong (and I have this problem with parenthetical statements...). Sometimes I just make up words to mean what I want instead of actually finding the word.

[SunglassescladGunslinger]

I sometimes...
Well
I sort of talk in either

choppy syntax

[seriouscupcakes]

I tend to overuse this face , And then if it's in the middle of a sentence or not at the end of a paragraph then I get confused about where I should put the period or comma or whatever.

For a couple months last year I was in the habit of always golf-clapping instead of normal clapping.

[tiresiasArchivist]

i almost never type with proper capitalization and punctuation except commas, and i have a tendancy to forget to hit the space bar and make semi-frewuet typos

Luckily I only type like that in Pesterchum or when I'm trying to make sure people don't take me seriously.

[Vare E8]

I sometimes type things the way I think them, which makes for me to be difficult to understand if I don't watch out for it.

For example, recently I typed "What do you do for the club?", and the other person confusingly responded "Uhhh I'm just a member..". I was probably thinking "What do you do? For the club that is... like, what does the club do?".

Otherwise nothing else.

[a totally real doctor]

One person I know preceeds every sentence with a period.
".kind of like this"

[Tectrix]

I type in caps when I'm being sarcastic or just generally stupid, and no caps or punctuation when I'm depressed. I also have a tendency towards correct grammar even when its not really necessary, and tend to end sentences I'm not sure about with a question mark I guess?

[Maltor Drey]

A while ago I had a habit of using semicolons a lot; even in places where it should really be a comma- and also to use hyphens. This has gradually developed into using all kinds of punctuation. Since reading Homestuck I've noticed my quirk is somewhere between Rose's and Jade's: Perfect spelling, grammar and syntax, frequent long-windedness, and a tendency to use exclamation marks for emphasis! Also I refuse to use any abbreviations or smilies, like to use italics for emphasis, and use a mixture of British and American spellings.

Edit. Ok, almost perfect syntax. (Ok is not an abbreviation because you say that in real life, and no one knows what it stands for!)

[2Cre@te]

This is really true:

foR a whilE I actuallY talkeD likE thiS iN foruM postS.

And I forgot about Homestuck at that point (Basically, I read the first fifty pages, lost interest, and returned to it earlier this year. The time in between? We're talking about years here.)

[Maltor Drey]

Oh, and I just realised that I've been using quirks for my characters for years before reading Homestuck, including one guy who would Capitalise Words rather randomly to Give Them Emphasis. Another girl would italicise practically every other word, whether that made sense or not.

Oh, and I talk in the same way I type.

You know what else uses quirks? Discworld.

[BarelyAwake]

I tend to seperate emoticons for example, = ). Or : P Just because I hate actual emoticons so eventually I fell into habit of doing this. I also tend to use '...' A lot as well as 'stutter'
I use the 'XD' face way too much, and sometimes I exaggerate on lettersssss.

[_Quietus_]

I frequently use tits as an expletive, beyond what would be a healthy amount

I can also not express any emotion through my text
Except for the emotion of friendship

[Selcouth]

I use ":P" far too often to make sure funny or sardonic remarks are interpreted as such. Like someone above, on chat I quite often use choppy syntax as well, because I dislike seeing a giant paragraph suddenly appear on my screen. I prefer seeing someone tell a story line by line, so I do the same.

My most famous quirk is the four-dot ellipsis (like "...."), just because three dots doesn't feel long enough. Especially when Word condenses them.

[freaki]

i just kinda... never capitalize unless i absolutely have to or am angry.
i also use mainly british spellings because... well... i am.

[strongWind]

I do not use contractions in words when I speak or type for the most part, unless getting my point across without doing so would be difficult (for example, "Isn't that awesome" and "Is that not awesome" are often taken different ways)

[artlessDelirium]

Homestuck troll quirks were based off real (and rather annoying, lol) people. Hmm. I don't know anybody who actually uses them, though, since I probably wouldn't be friends long with anyone who typed like a troll.
