If you go around talking about a website's posts, and the people who use the website call them something else, you're going to sound uninformed.
- jrflowers 2y agoIt is customary to learn the local slang for posts when you’re riding the information superhighway but in a pinch everyone knows what a post is, as it is the product that comes from the process of posters posting. Sticking to fundamentals can be good when for example a literal insane person tries to tell you that an Xer Xes Xs on X. That’s just not true, nobody believes that wording is right.
