I used to think that I type in a manner that matches my exact vocal phrases and words... while reflecting I came to know that such is not the case.
One of the prominent examples is the word "bro" which I commonly use in text messages to my brothers. However, I never use the word bro when speaking to my brothers, they are always Ryan, Eric, Dan and Kevin respectively. I'm not sure why this is. It could be influence from Sai Saici (of G Gundam) or Simon (from Gurren Lagann) who commonly refer to close friends as "bro."
Another word I only type but never say is "Anyways" (please note the "s" on the end). I can't think of the number of e-mails or instant messages in which I've used anyways. It should be noted, however, that I am more likely to say "anywho" before saying "anyway."
There are more examples that I could bother to think about, but I'll leave you with just one more in conclusion. That word would be "Yo" but not "yo" as in "I" in Spanish. "Word up yo!", "Yo, what's up?" or anytime I use yo at the end of a typed or written sentence. I probably don't say "yo" because I would probably slip into Spanish mode and the rest of my sentence would be a train wreck of Spanglish.
Chao~
