That was me. I decided to look at the wiki to see what terms they used and see if the people calling foul had a point. The wiki clearly shows that they do use Earth-terms, tons actually. Any author would be within their right to read that and come to the conclusion similar terms wouldn't be so outlandish to include. To tell an author they don't care about the source material and anyone who does won't want to read their stories is just being rude to be rude.
Maybe I'm a white knight like the previous author said, but as someone who has enjoyed fanfiction for years, I don't like when people feel like it is their place to tell someone else what they can or can't write or that they are lesser of a fan for it.
We are all fans here and we also have our own unique ways to go about it. No one should be looked down by their fellow fans because of it.
I'm off though, this is a small thing and I have no desire to start a fight over it. I just felt people were being unfair to the author and couldn't keep quiet about it anymore because I could see people been discouraged to write with this mentality going around and that would suck.
