Writing style Experiment (also a bit of a thread game)

Sometimes if I go anon about personal things in my life, I don't mind if the ones that know me, and know my stuff, irl, read and know it's me, but the million other posters don't need to know.
Sometimes I will be vague as not to be figured out by the masses.

Certain posters I could tell when they are anon because I know what they're dealing with irl.
Others from their exclusive opinions on this site even if I don't know who they are irl

I have a lot of unpopular opinions - not necessarily insulting to anyone, just unusual and unpopular.

I'm always afraid that if I write them under my sn, someone will figure out who I am IRL.

I assume that you'll only guess someone's post if she's playing. But I'm a little nervous about people playing 20 questions and bringing up other posters and talking about their styles.

I always wondered if it’s really possible to figure things out from the way people write.
I’m not so detail oriented so I would never realize something like that, but people here keep saying that they can identify amothers.
Is this long enough or maybe I don’t have a specific style?

All guessing should be confined to this thread. (ETA this is a response to the person who was concerned.)

Anyone else thinks her own style various based on what device (computer vs smartphone or tablet) she uses?

Not my style, but some typos or autocorrect mistakes can happen on different devices.

I didn't realize there was a thread for this already like many things that I chap a minute too late.

I'll play along as well. I usually intentionally try to copy other posters' writing styles when going anonymous. However, here I will try and use my own (for the sake of the game). Oh, wait, maybe I am just copying someone else?

Definitely. My computer illustrates my real style, whereas my tablet does not. Reason? Because it is too difficult to type on a tablet and because I have autocorrect disabled so if I click the wrong key/letter, it just stays mispelled.

Why bother trying to figure out anonymous posters? Isn’t it a massive waste of time?

In general, it is wrong to do so. On this thread, we can find out how secure anonymous posting is against people who are familiar with other members' writing styles. This is for science. It can also be fun.
