And that is on them not the author. As I said if the people actually involved on the canon universe have no issues using Earth terms, it seems a bit self entitled to dictate what words would or wouldn't fit in that universe.
I mean I could easily say them calling something yogurt would take me out of the story, but it is a thing in the expanded universe. I was also shocked to see they even have freaking sushi.

General statements like that just rub me the wrong way and sound kind of elitist, just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone else will have an issue with or the author is not within their rights to do it without being belittled for using "Earth terms" when canon also uses Earth-terms.
And yeah it is pretty darn impossible what will become a pet peeve for people. And considering that story was written for the OP who clearly had no issues with it nor everyone else who left positive comments, I don't see how you can't see that.
But this is a pointless argument at this point. Just needed to add my 2 cents because I hate people who use passive aggressiveness to control and make fun of other people, which is how those comments came across like. There is a difference between personal preferences and dictating what fits and what doesn't in a /fictional fantasy universe/ (which is very different from someone pulling out an iPhone in 1776 America), unless you are George Lucas himself.
Sure, it's not on the author, but if an author's interest is to target those readers in any way then it is within the author's concern. Again, if it's just pure fun and readership doesn't matter at all, then authors should 1) feel free to ignore any readers who aren't going to like their fic regardless, so you don't need to white knight the author, or 2) not put their fic up in public places where people have a right to voice their opinions on it.
