This is a 2-in-1 question, I suppose. I type the way I do. I’ve always typed this way, but I’ve noticed when interacting with people (not on here) that people always think I’m far older than 19. They think I’m in my forties or fifties.

Also, I tend to type using full stops, which people may think are rude. When I’m typing a full sentence, though, I end it with a period. If I say, “He’s being an asshole,” (with a period), I mean that as a fact, not out of anger. It just happens to be ended with a period since it’s a sentence.

    “A language is a dialect with an army and navy.” -Max Weinreich

    The difference between “dialect” and “mutually intelligible language” is usually defined by convenience and politics and the Scots classification is not a settled matter, nor is it an important distinction outside of identity/pride.
