Sometimes I intentionally get lore wrong IC to see how people react (Gara claiming she always thought the Fists of Rhalgr were the senseless ravings of drunks, then was mildly surprised to meet someone claiming to be of the order), and sometimes I genuinely forget because... eh, I don't really care all that much. It's not like it's holy writ that must be obeyed lest ye be struck down by the almighty hand of our lord and savior Yoshi-P, anyway.
I wasted too much time and mental energy in my younger days learning the lore of Vampire: the Masquerade front, back and sideways. It's totally useless now unless I want to get drunk and talk shop with other old timers, and it makes me wish I devoted all that time studying something at least relevant to the real world.
So with that in mind I don't really bother digging too deep into FFXIV lore unless it becomes relevant to my characters. Like, for instance, Roegadyn words are fun to know, but I'm not gonna be learning dragon speak any time soon.
