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!

because f.ex is confusing to the reader because it's not widely used. i was about to ask the same question before i saw redsturgeon ask it tbh
It's widely used in certain languages that aren't english (on the norwegian speaking internet f.eks is used all the time), maybe OP is ESL?
