to chatter and to chat what's the difference of these two verbs: chatter and chat ?
Can they be used with the same shade of meaning?

Re: to chatter and to chat "Chat" is the usual word to describe people talking. "Chatter" means their talk is foolish or purposeless.
I only hear "chatter" in the phrase "chattering class," used to describe those who discuss politics on TV.
