I've been accused of being a bot in online games due to my robust vocabulary, resistance to abbreviation and slang, as well as pedantic punctuation use. It has been happening for decades.

Note: rarely have I been accused of a being a bot for my skill at gameplay. We all have our strengths and weaknesses.

Now, if you wish to truly delve the depths of linguistic proclivities, one should peruse the works of Terry Pratchett, especially the Discworld novels. Any and all of his works are wonderful prose and deep storytelling.

People usually assume I'm a bloke based on the way I write, but I'm just Australian.

Aw darn it. Now I'm reading your posts with an Australian accent in my head.

I don't have a broad Australian accent if that helps. Think Cate Blanchett or Margot Robbie, not Steve Irwin.
