Heavily sporadic.

Sometimes just one word post such as 'lol' and sometimes record-breaking length posts as long as 10 pages.

Yes, I've actually typed 10 pages in a post before. I've typed more than 5 on more than one occasion.

Most of my posts are varied. It can either have much information or separate sentences.

I tend to use smilies like >8) when feeling a bit evil and I rarely use >8P and

Yeah, I edit constantly as well, because my posts are generally full of typos and I'm too lazy to use preview. (I probably don't because it added quite a bit of time to every post with dialup, which I had from 2001 through 2005 and again for about half of 2006.)

Also, I like starting posts or paragraphs with a single word followed by a comma, like "Yeah" and "Also" in this post. Other words I frequently start posts with are "Well" and the aforementioned "Peh".

I usually use the "short and not really that sweet" posting style.

I don't really like thinking up paragraphs and such unless I have to. :x

My posts vary in length, but I almost always make them at least one sentence. I don't do one-word posts, or zero-word, one-smiley posts except in brain teasers where you are only expected to give your answer in a post. If I have a lot to say, I can go up to several paragraphs; similarly when I start a thread I usually have either multiple paragraphs or a few sentences plus a list.

I pretty much just type as I think, so my posting varies with my mood, etc.

I'd say the only thing I could think of is that I use the two smilies

in a row a lot.

I am not sure I have much of a "style".

I try to make paragraphs (and sentences) short and easy to read. However, if a topic is difficult I can tend to "waffle" a bit. I break things up as much as possible to try to make things easy to read. I avoid posting a "wall of text".

Depending on the topic at hand the length of my posts varies.

I like smilies.

I try to post similar to how I actually speak. I'll type "um" and "uh" when I really don't need to, because I have more than enough time to think of what I'm trying to say when I type. I also tend to use either

in my posts, because those smilies are adorable.
I'm usually paragraph-happy, too. Not so much in this post, but I usually make sure different parts of a post are well separated from each other.

Yep.

Me, I try to make small posts without omitting any important details. I also spell very well and try to make short sentences, trying to refrain from run-on sentences.

I barely use any smilies, since I find that it looks weird in my posts. I never swear, since I almost type the same way that I talk. I find that I also use a varied vocabulary, but too many useless adverbs.

When quoting someone, it depends if it makes more sense to put the comma inside or outside quotes.

For example:
"Mark," he said, "I think you forgot an accent."
I barely use "smilies", little faces used on the internet made with letters or other signs.
