digital native dialect
I've now spent ~20 years of my life regularly on a computer, but only a few years before high-speed broadband came to my town (of course, this changed everything).
I've been chatting with people online at the birth of IRC, msn messenger, aim, and online video games. I've refined my voice over those years, learned how to understand how people talk and mirror it appropriately; how to communicate effectively with other humans in text.
And now this is my life, my expression, my personality, my income & survival. All just text.
