Apparently “nowdays” isn’t a word.

Quite often seen with spaces or hyphens.

As an aside I saw 'check, mate' today.

That seems fine to me. I've heard "check and mate" a bunch, so this isn't too much of a stretch for me.

[-] ma11en@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They clearly meant checkmate though.

[-] exscape@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Well OP clearly meant nowadays whenever they said "nowdays", too.

So do the people who say "check and mate."
