I don't do it outside my social circle but. Sometimes I interrupt phrases. with a dot, usually after o before a conjuntion or articles and prepositions, besides that. I use normal grammar except I don't use a period at the end

I try to keep a consistent capitalization and punctuation style. That's how it works for humans in hs, they don't have typing quirks necessarily, just are consistent with stuff like that.


If you saw my post about trying to get into Discord, you'll have seen I also use bold, italics and underlining to stylize, but not much outside of that.


Oh, yeah. I also do double spacing whenever I press enter.


I am, like, oddly deliberate with these things.

I understand All of the time travel in Homestuck. All of it.

I use dashes and semicolons heavily, and I always distinguish between the two - dashes feel like a leap to the next clause; semicolons, by contrast, a more measured, thoughtful transition.


I often end sentences in three dots as a kind of "you fill in the implications" thing, particularly for deadpan jokes. Apparently this is kind of a Gen X thing that younger people find a bit passive-agressive...


...and I do THAT as well. I also resort to Capitalising Every Word Kanaya-Style When Employing Heavy Irony.

got bandersnatches? i,uh, can handle that for you,

I don't really know how to describe it.. I tend to talk in caps when EMPHASIZING like when I'm happy or showing strong emotion, I feel like I type how I talk like ill draaagg out words I would irl, ill (whisper over text like this), I narrate physical actions that I would ether do in conversation or that would say out loud "taps foot" "poke poke" "waves" etc etc,,,, I also use emoticons but ill add spaces if its a face because I like how it looks more UNLESS its kitty.. :3

rails b4 pails!!
