I find that my vocabulary online vastly differs from my vocabulary in the real world. For example, I never swear IRL, yet half of my posts contain words such as shit, fuck, cunt, etc. Do you swear only in certain settings? I do swear over voice chat occasionally, but I never swear out loud otherwise. It's just one of the many ways in which the online version of me is different from the IRL version of me. Just wondering if anyone else acts similarly.

Sure. They're just words. However teh puma recognizes some people will throw a hissy fit, so he tries not to do it but so often.
-
Only when trash talking the losers on the other teams.
-
Mostly at people in the office. Mostly runningturtle.

Edited by Jaaake AU: 12/3/2013 9:25:50 AMOnly time I swear is when I'm playing online multiplayer and things aren't going my way. It can get pretty frustrating... But even then it's only like once. Not something I do consistently.
-
Only around friends or when I'm alone.
-
yes, only around people I've known for a while.
-
I swear in pretty much every sentence. I'm not sure why others say people do it to sound cool. I just like to get my point across very clearly. I don't do it here because I get banned and also because I can't figure how to do the alt+ stuff. I've heard it doesn't work on a laptop.
-
Literally every other sentence, I swear.
-
I -blam!-ing swear like a shit-blam!-ing sailor -blam!- IRL
-
Who the fuck bumped this and why...?
-
Seldom

I have no filter, what you see here is mostly what you get, I can force myself to change for a social situation, but it's rare that I do.

Edited by SuperIrish: 11/28/2013 3:58:06 PMI swear more irl than I do here. I'm doing the complete opposite to what internet anonymity allows me to!
-
no i do it to look like an internet tough guy
-
Of course, they are sentence enhancers.
-
I talk on here exactly how I do in real life.
-
Alot! I wish i could change that, but it's stronger than me. :|

Edited by Circadian Wolf: 1/24/2013 4:22:02 PMI swear around those who I know don't mind it, though I try to use more varied dialouge in most situations. Strangely enough, I prefer to not swear on the internet and use words like -blam!- as a substitute.
-
Yes, why not?
-
Not often. Actually, not at all, recently. Starting around late-high school I decided it was a habit I wanted to break.
-
-
Probably. Not much though.
-
One of my pet peeves are people who feel the need to put in the f word every sentence. You know the "My "f" mom wouldnt give me my "f'" cookie. Well Then my "f" mom came in with a broom and hit me on my "f" behind with it. In the end my "f" dad came in and "f'in" hit my mom in the face. "S" was so "f" cash." It always seems like the badasses talk like this too.
-
I swear to irl
-
Yes, way more so than online. But, usually, it's when I'm around friends that I cuss. When I'm online, I generally don't swear a lot, unless I'm talking to one of my close friends on Facebook.
-
Occasionally yes, t's usually only when I'm pissed off about something or anything resulting in sudden pain.
