Very early on I typed in internetspeak but gradually progressed to proper spelling. But even then the way I spoke was cancerous; "rawr xD", overuse of "lol" etc, as was the trend at the time.
I did this as well with disturbing frequency back when I played World of Warcraft in high school. I also pretended to be a girl to get free stuff and make people like me. Thankfully all chat logs from this era are gone, even the IM ones since they died with my computer in a lightning strike years ago.
