i like when fantasy characters say “okay” because it implies the existence of some kind of elven martin van buren
#reading a pop linguistics book abt the history of american english and having a ball
#language is very silly
#this is not even one of my top worldbuilding things to get annoyed about
#but a) its always funny and b) i think getting granular about language in this particular way is productive and more authors should do it
#the medieval fantasy swearing problem of replacing ‘god’ with ‘spirits’ and calling it a day
#‘[insert name of conlang deity here]’s ass!’ ‘by the [conlang virgin mary]!’ ‘may the spirits damn him to fairy-hell!’ nice try.
