Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. 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!

This community has been very cool about spelling, grammar, and typos (hexbear.net)

I still see blue checks in Twitter that need to reply with "*you're" kinda bullshit. I do reread some of my posts and I see them littered with mobile edits or just bullshit language that only made sense to my brain at 2am. Thanks everybody for being chill about language. I still (wrongly) imagine that I'm very good with writing, and seeing my own writing some time after it's been published is a nice kick of humility.

The only memory I have of being corrected on grammar was when Emizeko corrected the title of my first Soviet gulag post because i spelt the title with "penial" instead of saying "Penal"

I've worked with a north African person for the past few months, and they switch 'b' for 'p' all the time. It never stops throwing me off for a second.

No, it was memorable because it was like one of my first bigger posts and I made such a basic mistake and was a bit embarrassed.

That bit embarrassed got a bit bigger when I learned some people I respect found that post and were applauding its discovery.
