The most obvious telltale sign is the use of emphasis dashes -- like this. Something you see commonly in novels maybe, but almost never in informal internet speak.
The em dash (—) and en dash (–), which are distinctly longer to the hyphen -, cannot even be typed conventionally. You need 5 buttons on windows and 4 on mac to type them out.

I use dashes a lot, usually to separate tangents from a larger paragraph without completely going off-topic - like this - and then continuing the rest. It also looks nicer than parentheses.
