Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Wait til you find out Brits say "at hospital" vs "in the hospital"
I asked a brit friend about this recently, according to her "at the hospital" means you are visiting, "in hospital" means you are a patient
Basically the same in the US.
Don't Brits say "in hospital" not "at hospital"? Like I'm not an expert but I did watch a lot of Medlife Crisis way back when and I can't recall him ever saying "at hospital"
I dunno but they drop the article and it's FRUSTRATING
It stands out to me but I'm not frustrated by it, I just think it's an interesting difference.
