And gas station attendants don't say, "Check your oil?" anymore either.

If I win, I say 'GG - Good Game', if I lose, I say 'GJ - Go Jump', and if I get swindled by the bowls guy from Colorado, I say, 'That was a bit Rich'. happy.png

GG is flagged as rude by many and most people don't reply to it. That's why I stopped saying it. But I say it all the time on lichess since the players there are much more friendly and immune to troll.

I could never stand against it being proper courtesy to say it. I also feel it gets very insinsere when you know its only habit and no reason in the world they probly mean it. So I usally dont say it. I do recall a player who wrote something real quick that was topical to that game and went out of way to type the handshake emoji. I thought that was classy and more real.

If more people do not say things they do not mean, that´s a good thing.

Planaporna försvann väl redan på sjuttiotalet? I vart fall i utvecklade länder.

How is lying polite?

I need to start again.

Chess is a sport/endeavor/hobby (you pick) that I've always considered being of high integrity... and being international... our manners and sportsmanship should be above the board.

There are better ways to acknowledge ones opponents effort and the enjoyment one has had than to utter a stereotypical (and often untrue) "good game".
