Right?<br /><br />This article should be required reading so greenhorn authors don't put their foot in it and call someone a Grey-backed, blue-skinned, yellow-bellied windbag... unless they're writing science fiction.Alison E.

Nothing grates worse than to come across a modern word or saying while reading a historical novel. <br /><br />I have a historical novel in the works in which I started to use "bottom-feeder," but debated about how long the term has been in use. I left it out. Since the novel is set in 1871, I think I'll consider putting it back in.<br /><br />Robyn Echols w/a Zina AbbottZina Abbott Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514497895329220725noreply@blogger.com
