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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Language is fake and there are no rules. So long as it doesn't actively impede the ability for people to be understood, there is no need to "correct" language. (Even then, maybe you could just ask for clarification instead of being a self righteous prick about it) You sound like that teacher who would condescendingly ask "I don't know can you use the restroom???" when you would ask "can I use the bathroom?" instead of "may I use the restroom?" Nobody likes that teacher. And, because I'm a leftist on the internet, I need to point out that refusing to address someone until they "spoke right" is some Jim Crow era shit that can and has been used to enforce bigotry of all sorts. Pull the English 101 book out of your anus
But barrel, how am I supposed to baselessly feel superior to the people around me if I'm not enforcing arbitrary language rules despite knowing full well what people mean when they talk about there new haircut or or use new words like startup? I don't care about effective communication, I care about an artificial hierarchy that I can place myself near the top of.
