Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Interestingly, an area I found where the spelling of words can evolve extremely rapidly is geography.
I'm mapping on openstreetmap and finding the right spelling for small dwellings and locations can be an impossible task.
Unless there is a clear physical signage for it somewhere the name of a single place can change drastically in a few decades. From one generation to another the name changes and finding "the right" spelling is sometimes an impossible task.
I have a lot of cases where the cadastral map, the postal database and the mapping institute each have a different spelling/name for the same location.
