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!

actually one of my most consistent spelling Ls. like, okay–it's pronounced sehp-reht as an adjective and seh-puh-reit as a verb (at least in either americana or just where I live regionally), the only indicator for the second vowel verbally is either not there at all or reduced to schwa, so my brain goes "Okay, what's the closest sound and spelled word to it that I can reference...sever?" and then it's an a, because fuck you for assuming anything about english through context i guess
