Take Wikipedia with a grain of salt if you're so inclined.
Old English: scite (dung) and scitte (diarrhoea), and the verb scītan (to defecate, attested only in bescītan, to cover with excrement)
Middle English: schītte (excrement), schyt (diarrhoea) and shiten (to defecate)
So what is it that we consider "modern or real world"? What separates that from those that are considered Eorzean appropriate? Why is 'shite' or 'bloody' lesser real world? As far as I know, they're used in modern speech quite often. We see it in game. That's why we accept it. But I already posed why fuck wouldn't be used quite often in the game.
Would you consider "Uh... I think I'll pass..." out of place?
Like I said, I prefer to see what is used by the NPCs be used by RPers. They seem to use archaic words AND modern British(loosely)-style stuff.
