The words that we use are not particularly "modern," and as I stated, would have found purchase in the rough real-life historical period of the setting in which we play.
What has differed between then and now is sentence structure and (sometimes) meaning. Words, however, are older than we think.
It is a valid point. But therefore lies one problem, not only it resembles every day talk, but those words may be use a profanity against terms of service as well. Not me who would report that anyway since I am the first one to be able of talking nasty.
However I got a feeling that the choice of words structure lies a bit within the Light versus Heavy role player. Which is why I suit myself as medium level role player. I will do common mistake or status of the light role player. But I believe the language or choice of words that I personally enjoy, or cherish. Would lean to side what the heavier role player with vouch for.
Movies are the best example that will reflect such thought. A deep immersion versus a light immersion. At least my knowledge this is one way to represent-ate it.Â
You have a good knowledge of the history of English language, without any doubt, Oli!.
