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!

Believe it or not it's usually not that hard to string like 3 unfamiliar syllables together if you take a few seconds to put in literally any effort you fuck

i've never heard an english native speaker pronounce my first name right and it's one of the biblical names...

it's hard for them.

edit: i should like to mention that i cannot for the life of me pronounce the german name "Werner" properly. there's something there that's just beyond me. i can make a go at it and germans are good enough to go along with it, but it's just so hard.
