SYNOPSIS. 

/join <channel>
/j <channel>
				

SUMMARY. 

After you connect to an IRC server, you will probably want to join a channel. So how else do you do it, but with the /join. Now, to make it easier on you, there is an alias to /join, which is /j, pretty easy.

Now you would use this command like so.

/join #someChannel
/j #someChannel
	

Now either one of those will work. But lets take it one step farther. (We will be really lazy).

/j someChannel
	

Notice the abscence of the # sign. Since /j and /join are the same command, it will work for both of them.
