It’s less the formality and more the hypermodern idioms that feel out of place (what’s the opposite of anachronistic?) in talking about a historical subject. Like, yes Mark Twain had the rizz and the Confedussies took the L but that’s probably not how I’d discuss it.
- jwestbury 3y ago> what’s the opposite of anachronistic? In this case? Anachronistic still. Anachronistic just means something like "belonging to a different time period," and it doesn't strictly imply earlier or later.
- bookofjoe 3y agothat this word goes both ways in time is the best thing I've learned so far today From Oxford Languages: >a·nach·ro·nism noun a thing belonging or appropriate to a period other than that in which it exists, especially a thing that is conspicuously old-fashioned. "everything was as it would have appeared in centuries past apart from one anachronism, a bright yellow construction crane" an act of attributing a custom, event, or object to a period to which it does not belong. "it is anachronism to suppose that the official morality of the age was mere window dressing"
