what are your posting habits?
Just about everyone has at least one posting habit, what's yours?
My posting habit is that I seem to always be 'laughing out loud' or 'laughing my ass off' I have no idea why i always type 'lol' or 'lmao', it just happens. I also have a habit of repeating words. Today's word repetition seems to be 'completely' the sad part is that even though I realize I'm doing it, I still let the habits slip into my postings *growls* ^ I also tend to act out what I'm doing in real life.. god I'm such a weirdo! :sarcasm: |
i think the only posting habit i have is that i don't capitalize my i's. ever. i guess im too lazy to.
|
I have that habit too except if I start with an i i capitalize it.. actually my capitalizations seem to be random so scratch that thought lol live and learn eh?
your avi is adorable btw! |
Posting.
I think I overuse the XD face.
|
I totally overuse 'XD' if I let myself lol. So I often have to go over my posts an extra time or two before hitting submit to take out any extra 'XD's.
And I just had to force myself to resist using it again just a second ago. x___x |
I've never understood the XD face, is he constipated, frustrated or what?
^ I'm totally not being a smartass, I genuinly don't get it |
:3, ;3, :0, ;0, XD
Those are my habits. :3 I'm a huge self-made-emoticon fan. ;3 XD see? right there! I'm a bit of a dork. Plus sometimes I tend to post a hell of a lot. And I tend to put an empty line between text. |
you mean you break your text into paragraphs? or that you randomly put lines between your sentences?
and try this for a self made emote -> 0->-<]: ^ he's on a skateboard! :D |
XD
nah, I just put lines in-between sentences or paragraphs where it seems like they're different subjects or something.. dunno really. XD I just do it when it seems right? XD The XD face is a big laugh. Laughing so hard you can't keep your eyes open? :0 |
Emoticons. I love them. Be it ^_^ or XD I use them a lot in my posts. ^_^;; They just add that extra bit of expression since you can't see me.
I also type all of my posts with properly capitalized letters and punctuation. I have a hard time not writing out a proper post with proper grammar and punctuation and such. Even in IMs, I need to capitalize. It just goes against the grain for me not to do it right! Although, there are the exceptions. One of them is that I will not punctuate my sentences if I end it with an emoticon XD |
you'd make a good copy-editor then :P
|
I'll be the first to admit that my grammar and punctuation is not perfect. I did work in a writing center for two years, but I always felt that I wasn't as helpful as the other tutors there. ._.

I use emoticons like XD, 8D and O; a lot.. well, on Mene at least. XD And I have a tendency to randomly type certain lines in upper case 8D It's a habit I picked up off my friends, who seem to influence my posting habits a fair bit. XD And I say things like homg and lolol or lulz (when it's appropriate ;D).
|
I guess I'm also pretty anal about punctuation and grammar. Spelling too.
I may make mistakes, but unless I'm extremely tired and forgetting my capitalization, I'll have the best grammar and spelling I can. :3 I just feel so EMBARRASSED when I don't. It's like, why would I want to act like I'm illiterate? It's harder to think out the illiterate way to write stuff on the internet then just use proper spelling. >.> |
I too have the lol complex. It's a very critical disease and I'm trying to switch off between lol and haha...but it just don't work that well. Cause when I think Haha I think haha you suck. It's very sarcastic. Just like the tone of my voice right now.
Which leads me to my second habit. I tend to mumble as I'm typing. lol (<<<) I don't mean to do it, but it helps me spell my words better then if I weren't. XD |
I punctuate with emoticons.
I feel wrong without them! And it lets everyone know the mood of my post, so if I'm being sarcastic it won't be misconstrued. It's hard to tell with text. |
I try to spell things correctly because my spelling, grammar and punctuation isn't very good I don't know why I've never been able to do it but either no one noticed or no one cared in high school so I try. I use firefox spell checker to help with the spelling. I use emoticons a lot as well.
|
My biggest posting habit is to use certain emoticons after each little section of what I write. The ones I use the most are:
^^ ^^; ^///^ >.< T_T |
i rarely capitalize anything i write or use proper punctuation sometimes i use these emoticons to describe how i feel : :D D: :o (: (; ;o 8D usually my posts are boring because they lack... emotion? idk |
My posting habbits. Well, I occasionally type "lol", and often post smileyfaces at the end of my sentences.
|
I also have a habit of repeating things.
And I have a habit of pressing enter, and going down a level, every time I start a new line of emphasis. On the plus side, it seems to make my posts easier to read. |
I don't seem to have any posting habits on Menew yet. I do tend to watch my spelling and what I say whenever I am on Menewsha or Gaia for that matter. I think I am a bit more reserved on Menewsha, and tend to be a bit more aloof just because I really don't know many people on here yet.
On gaia, dear lord. I do the XD face too much. I also tend to use the mrgreen smiley face a lot as well. I can't help but wonder why I am different at posting when I am on Menewsha than when I am on Gaia. |
I definitely overuse: xD, ^___^, D:
I guess 'lol' really bothers me, although 'lmao' never has for some reason. Another thing my friends have told me is that I have a tendency to type my sentences out unnecessarily(thank you, Menewsha! xD ) and also use better grammar/spelling/mechanics than most, especially on IM clients like GTalk and AIM. |
Well, in my posts I usually end up being shot at or running away crying into the sunset. :'D I also make too many faces in my posts and I tend to post rambling jibberish that I don't understand but people seem to understand it and it's almost like "...o_o Well, hot dog! I guess you understand my brain better than myself, yeh?" I also use yeh a lot and I don't do this anymore but I used to type like a speak. The full on English English, it tended to scare people. - _ -;
