Everyone speaks differently. Although you may think everyone from Bristol speaks the same, we each have our own unique language traits. Most of us share speaking quirks such as dropping our 'T's or using the word 'like' as a sentence filler. But we're all different and I'm going to write about my linguistic fingerprint.
A lot of the time I subconsciously start sentences by saying 'obviously'. I typically do it when I'm explaining something to someone or justifying something. It's not so noticeable that others point it out to me straight away but if I tell them it's a habit of mine then they can recall many situations where they've heard me say it.
Another language habit of mine is saying 'LOL' out loud. I started to say it ironically as a joke but over time it has stuck and I can't help but say it. I've noticed that many people in my age group share this trait and perhaps it will eventually be a part of everyday language as it has already found itself a space in the dictionary. Another example of this is 'OMG' which I don't personally say aloud but I've definitely heard others saying it.
