As I said before, the time period was just a reference. I also explained that this is basically a parallel world to earth and we never really advanced in science all that much. Terminology is not a huge thing, just as SillyGoy said, just don't use things such as the internet or vaccines, or anything too modern. You can use common modern phrases just don't go over board, you know? ^~^

Also you just double posted! x3

Yeah..... I didn't know I accidently hit qoute....me...sorry bout that must of been my computer glitching


Also I do realize its just a reference, but as my brain works it just comes out that i like to know facts like this. also it was really only to bring up the fact of using the modern term of jumping the gun, im perfectly fine with the weapon, if I wasn't I would have said something.  I just thought it interesting to bring up.

I never really thought about it until now.  Usually when I'm writing I try to stick to at the very least, the general terminology of the time period.  But this mostly pertains to when I'm "in character".  Like when a character is speaking of thinking to themselves.  In italics, you know?

But generally, I think that the narrator exists outside of time and space, so much like the Genie in Aladdin, I may drop a reference to the present day without thinking about it.  More for the reader's benefit, I suppose.

I'm not even offended that you called me out on it, because like you said, it's an interesting point and something I'll have to keep in mind for the future.

That, and autocorrect is my sworn enemy...  :/

It wasn't a call out, and i'm glad you were not offended, totally not why I brought it up. I like how you explained that, its a good point. Another reason I brought it up was because my high school creative writing teacher couldn't give me a straight answer. Didn't like him anyways.
