* ''Webcomic/AwkwardZombie'': Deconstructed. As Aloy demonstrates in [[https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/forges-all-the-way-down this comic]], having a particular speech pattern that never stops gets real old real fast with her getting tired of Milduf's smithing-themed vernacular quicker than [[HypocriticalHumor a hammer meets steel]].
--> '''Aloy:''' Yeah, got it, your people have a rich and thematically-consistent culture.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': All the protagonists have a specific typing quirk when chatting online (which is carried over to real world conversations as well), usually tied to their personality; John uses no capital letters, [[TheSmartGuy Rose]] writes in an overtly correct manner, [[TheStoic Dave]] eschews both capital letters and punctuation, [[GenkiGirl Jade]] multiplies her punctuation and uses lots of smileys.
** The [[AllTrollsAreDifferent trolls]] use more complex ones: [[HairTriggerTemper Karkat]] types in all caps; Sollux (obsessed with [[DualityMotif doubles and bifurcation]]) types 2's instead of s's and "ii"'s instead of i's; the shy [[ExtremeDoormat Tavros]] tYPES IN REVERSE CAPS LOCK and uses commas rather than periods; Feferi replaces h's with brackets )( (referencing her Zodiac sign, Pisces, and the shape of her horns) and precedes capital E's with a hyphen to make them look like her weapon of choice; and so on.
** Curiously, their typing quirks also [[PaintingTheMedium represent the way they speak]] -- for example, [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness Kanaya]] (who begins each word with a capital letter and uses no punctuation) is stated to enunciate each word carefully when speaking, just like she types; Sollux has a [[FangThpeak lisp]]; and so on.

smileys to match her cheerful and excitable nature.
** The [[AllTrollsAreDifferent trolls]] use more complex ones: [[HairTriggerTemper Karkat]] types in all caps; Sollux (obsessed with [[DualityMotif doubles and bifurcation]]) types 2's instead of s's and "ii"'s instead of i's; the ones:
*** The
shy [[ExtremeDoormat Tavros]] tYPES IN REVERSE CAPS LOCK and uses commas rather than periods; periods, often inserting them where they don't go, to represent a stuttering and hesitant manner.
*** Sollux, obsessed with [[DualityMotif doubles and bifurcation]], types 2's instead of s's and "ii"'s instead of i's. This also visually represents his pronounced FangThpeak.
*** [[HairTriggerTemper Karkat]] and types in all caps, representing how he he's always shouting.
*** Nepeta, a {{Genki|Girl}} CatGirl, begins every sentence with a cat smiley emoticon and makes free use of cat puns.
*** [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness Kanaya]] begins each word with a capital letter and uses no punctuation. She is stated to enunciate each word carefully when speaking, just like she types.
*** Terezi speaks in all caps and replaces the letters A, E and I with 4, 3 and 1, "the numerals that the blind prophets once used".
*** Vriska draws out words for emphasis, which she represents by typing out vowels and question and exclamation marks in groups of eight.
*** Eridan speaks with a "wavy" accent spelled out by doubling up the letter v and w.

Feferi replaces h's with brackets )( (referencing her Zodiac sign, Pisces, and the shape of her horns) and precedes capital E's with a hyphen to make them look like her weapon of choice; and so on.
