Guidelines
How we talk to each other.
- Be kind
- Correct the word, not the person. Many contributors are re-learning a language they grew up around.
- Say where it comes from
- Name the town, the speaker or the book you learned a word from. It helps editors weigh different forms.
- Respect the reference
- The reference dictionary’s spelling is the standard here. If yours differs, say so and explain, rather than overwriting.
- Keep it about the language
- No insults, harassment, politics or other people’s personal details. Editors remove comments that cross the line.
