Sometimes yes.
It happened to me a couple of years ago in fandom (but English isn't my first language, so that narrowed down the identification, I guess).

I've recognized people by the way they type before, but only people I've known for years.

Seems like so much bunk to me. There are a few common typing styles most people fall under. Unless you pick some unique thing deliberately to make yourself stick out, it seems unlikely to me that anyone could be identified solely by their grammar and typing tendancies.

Some people unintentionally have unique quirks in their writing. I knew a Final Fantasy name who consistently typed "Nomura" as "Normura", which made her stand out as she referenced him a lot in arguments. Didn't help her that she was ESL; while some ESL folk are so fluent I'd never distinguish them without having been told, when an ESL person isn't quite there it tends to be different in ways that stick out just because I've never seen a native speaker type like that.

And most people have some kind of writing quirk, even if most aren't completely unique. I tend to overuse certain words, punctuation and formatting unless I'm really watching myself. While I doubt I'm identifiable to most people, I have had friends pick me out in anon settings. It's an overall "feel" to the writing where if the fandom setting is small enough you can peg people because you've seen their writing so many times.
