When I'm writing informally online my style of writing changes. When I'm on facebook, twitter, myspace, etc... and I'm saying something to a friend or maybe posting a blog so my friends can read it, I use a lot of slang and use phrases that only people I know would understand. It just seems easier to me to make a point or get something across to friends by using certain slang and phrases.
Now when I write formally for school papers and things like that, I think I write the same as I would if I were using a pen and paper. I think this is cause I don't like using a pen and paper when writing. I like to use the computer. Its easier for me to type out something and get ideas than when I'm sitting at a desk with paper and a pen.

Interesting that you actually prefer to generate ideas on a screen. Almost all writers type their work nowadays, but many of them still like to brainstorm with pen and paper.
