Editing Anachronism (section)

===Language anachronism===
[[Language]] anachronisms in novels and films are quite common, both intentional and unintentional.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.npr.org/2013/02/26/172955182/historical-vocab-when-we-get-it-wrong-does-it-matter |title=Historical Vocab: When We Get It Wrong, Does It Matter? |last=Nunberg |first=Geoff |work=[[NPR]] |date=2013-02-26 |access-date=2014-06-11}}</ref> Intentional anachronisms inform the audience more readily about a film set in the past. In this regard, language and pronunciation change so fast that most modern people (even many scholars) would find it difficult, or even impossible, to understand a film with dialogue in 15th-century English; thus, audiences [[suspension of disbelief|willingly accept]] characters speaking an updated language, and modern [[slang]] and figures of speech are often used in these films.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/03/26/magazine/the-way-we-live-now-3-26-00-on-language-anachronism.html |title=The Way We Live Now: 3-26-00: On Language; Anachronism |last=Safire |first=William |author-link=William Safire |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=2000-03-26 |access-date=2014-07-31}}</ref>
