Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Thanks. I don't know about that. I grew up learning traditional British English, and I live in a non-English speaking country.

No worries. I use "actresses" all the time, and "stewardess", too, although I think nowadays you're supposed to say "flight attendants". The hard part is that some women actors want to be called "actors", and some "actresses." You never know.

In my story, it was "actor" because that's what my wife wanted to use. It's not a hard rule - it's a difficult one, but not set in stone. It depends on the individual's preference.
