As on Twitter? Yes, just ''leave off the @''. If your IRC client does not highlight the name you wrote, stay calm. The user will still be notified if you have spelt their username correctly. Most clients give username completion if you write the first characters and press TAB. |

The informal meeting place of Apertium is the Internet Relay Chat channel #apertium at irc.freenode.net.
On a web browser, try http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=apertium or use our CGI::IRC client, or, if you use Mozilla, Firefox, Opera or Seamonkey, you may try typing irc://irc.freenode.net/#apertium, which will start the Chatzilla client or Opera's own client).
Another favourite Linux client is xchat.
Many users have their IRC nick name listed on their users page.
If you want to share code snippets or long examples on IRC, please use our pastebin.

IRC FAQ
Can I ask people questions here?
Yes!
Don't ask to ask a question, just get to the point and ask the real question.
- Don't do:
<Guest45011> Anyone here? Can I ask a question? - Instead, do:
<Guest45011> I'm trying to compile XYZ and getting this error: http://dpaste.de/foobar How do I fix this?
Then hang around (don't quit the chat program) until someone answers.
Can I write @name on IRC?
As on Twitter? Yes, just leave off the @. If your IRC client does not highlight the name you wrote, stay calm. The user will still be notified if you have spelt their username correctly. Most clients give username completion if you write the first characters and press TAB.
Can I send a personal message on IRC?
Yes, but most of us prefer if you speak to us in the #apertium channel. If you have something private to talk about, you can use /msg USERNAME some message to send a private message.
What is this begiak user on about?
It's a bot. See begiak for more info.
