    Frequency of specific words, placement of punctuation, repeated misspelling and word order would all contribute to a profile.

    Take the two similar sentences written by person a and person b:

    A: Idk fam tbh idc
    B: fam idk nd idc 2bh

    The word order and betabetic makeup are all that separate these profiles but they are conveying exactly the same sentiment.

    did you read the bit i said about spellcheck? that tends to add the right punctuation into sentances etc. oh and it corrects misspellings aswell. lol.

    also i'm not the idiot referring to typed text as linguistic, lol. that refers to the orally spoken word.

    Lots of linguistic patterns can be derived by this post, such as: his cultural preferencial spelling of the word "favourite," his lack of usage of the Oxford comma, his lack of a period after an abbreviation (etc.), his disregard of a period at the end of a sentence, lack of capitalization at the beginning of a sentence, etc.

    Originally posted by aldra I'm currently writing a script that will download all of a user's posts on this site and analyse them for grammar, spelling, capitalisation, favourite words etc. The script then stores those scores as a 'fingerprint' into an SQLite database for comparison to other users - ostensibly, through simple analysis it should be easy to tell which users are alts belonging to who.

    In announcing this I figure it's easy enough for people to change their posting style (if they haven't already) across their accounts, but I'm only planning on using this site to test the theory anyway - I don't really care who is who. The real basis for this is to run it against anonymous or open comment sections on news sites for instance, as certain topics seem to attract what I believe to be false mass-controlled accounts for the purpose of swaying public opinion.

    In many cases it seems to me that the comments on a news article are more instrumental in shaping the reader's opinion than the article itself.

    You can do stuff like that, huh?

    Do you think this is already in use by law enforcement? If not, great fucking job...
