   Based on nothing, I wonder if comparing the amount of times a person uses a word could be used to unveil other pseudonyms they use

     I mean it's probably pretty obvious, because word usage is likely part of style. But I'm retarded and now I'm going to go write code to see if this reveals anything interesting.

     @kirby almost 100% yes, if you include word frequency, common errors, and grammatical structures. It's very likely possible to identify a person by word frequency alone if the sample is big enough, and I won't be surprised if "big enough" is not actually that big

     @kirby I think it should also be possible to determine someone's native language the same way

     @kirby I'm pretty sure I had watched a video about it. That they even can reveal your identity just by using the same birthday day everytime you're using the platform and put your birthday date the same as other accounts.

     Let's run tests and studies, we're scientists today. Albeit this will likely reveal nothing

     @munt @kirby assuming you're native level fluent. that virtually never happens, second language speakers don't achieve the same level of fluency and we don't know why

     @Inginsub @kirby only if they don't think in english
     eg, "they" in the sentence above could be "he" for gendered language speakers, i couldve not used the apostrophe, or i couldve capitalized the sentence etc, and people who think in their language and then translate it when they type wouldn't consider all these combinations
     you could fake your nationality with this
