How do you breath? I assume everyone inhale the air by mouth. What about exhaling? By nose or mouth? I exhale by mouth because I think if i use nose to exhale I'll tend to use nose to inhale as well. I think I should never close my mouth so that I will never happen to breathe with my nose underwater. Those of you who exhale by nose, do you keep your mouth open nontheless?

...Maybe this is my imagination, but I may even exhale simultaneously through the nose and mouth on some occasions.
It's not your imagination, many people do this.
After spending a week face-down in the Adriatic, I've found the biggest benefit of exhaling through the nose with the mouth shut - you can minimize the amount of salt you take into your mouth when you swim in seawater.
