Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

I have noticed an inordinate number of typos on here the last few days. Did everyone's keyboards break at the same time, or what?
That’s nothing new for me. Between auto correct, brain fog & forgetting grammar I learned decades ago I’m lucky if anyone understands what I’m typing. But who knows what’s going on with online system glitches.
I dunno about others, but both my laptop and my desktop keyboards have been acting weird. I get letters stuck, double spaces (that becomes spurious periods) and typing wrong letters (as if they were moved to a slightly different place than what I am used to). I put it down to becoming old, but now that you say ...
Since yesterday I have seen at least a half dozen comments from different users that are full of typos that all seem similar. Missing vowels, vowels replaced with consonants, spaces replaced with consonants, etc. Maybe it is just me being autistic, but I can't help myself but to notice.
sumtmes i just forget to type corectly and im jstu to laxzy to go back an ficx it.
Sorry anon that even tickles my brain but I just can't help myself/
Some of us have huge hands and fingers,and it's very hard to correct things on mobile.
We may have just uncovered a new conspiracy! 😱
I was thinking the same thing. Another Uniparty plot!
