Talk:chat room

Hyphenation
Is the hyphenated spelling really prevalent? I get 6M hits for "chat room", which could include both "chat room" and "chat-room", but from the looks of it seems to be mostly the unhyphenated form. I only get 2M for "chatroom", so it's definitely an alternate. -dmh 04:31, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I suppose you are referring to (sometimes) non-Web technologies like Discord. I came here to make the same point, but regarding IRC "channels", which are basically chat rooms (and probably sometimes so called) despite pre-dating the invention of the Web by several years.
