Does anyone know of a good (and hopefully also free) online forum where someone can ask questions related to the Chicago Manual of Style? Chicago Manual of Style’s page has an online question form, but it seems like it’s one of those “we’ll answer your question if we get to it” type of things. I need to ask questions about things not specifically covered by the Manual where I have some hope of getting a timely response. Any suggestions?

EDIT: A very belated thank you to @renard_roux@beehaw.org, @edickinson@startrek.website, and @eveninghere@beehaw.org; I will definitely take a look at Discord, Evidence Explained, and Stack Exchange.

EDIT EDIT: A bonus gift for @edickinson@startrek.website (and also because I posted this earlier and I think it got lost):

      Yeah I know what you mean, I’ve reached a point where I can just about stomach going there if a Google-search finds relevant information on something I’m researching, but I draw the line at active participation or even logging in.

      I’ve done a quick search and found a list of Discord boards that are tagged with #grammar.

      This one looks promising, and the list says there are currently 20 people online (take with grain of salt, though): The Grammar People

      If you could share your specific question, maybe there’s more research that can be done (or maybe someone here knows the answer) 🤔
