Apparently, "hatting" is an actual word.

I meant to type "hating."

Spell check, you vex me.

@timberwraith
Like, the mad hatter in Alice's wonderland?
@Orca That would make sense, with "hatter" as a verb turned into a noun, describing a profession in which one makes and provides hats. Also apparently, some of the materials in hat making were toxic and effected people's cognitive well being, from what I recall reading? Hence, mad hatter.
@timberwraith Yep. It's Mercury (Hg).
@Orca Ah, good old mercury. 😷
