There are subtle but meaningful differences in the ways people communicate in different formats. The differences may yield different results when parsing the same text.

For example, a single word like “snowflake” is generally neutral. However, when someone utters it in a dialogue, they may mean it is as an insult. A name like “Hitler” as a sentence references a historic figure; but when used as an alias, it is usually a provocation.

The format setting provides the context of the utterance. If you’re processing short posts, we strongly recommend you set format to dialogue.
