Sure, at least. I remember reading "champing" in the phrase (in books that were at least decades old by then) as a yout and questioning whether that was a typo or a mistake because I was certain I'd heard it as "chomping" when someone spoke it. My english teacher stated more and more people used "chomping" and it wasn't necessarily wrong. That was in the late 70's. I am olde and get offa my lawn.

People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement
