Re: Question for the OP?

[(Anonymous)]

OP

This questions seems kind of unnecessarily rude, but I'll still answer it.

I don't really care about the torch/flashlight or lift/elevator uses in fanfic. Mostly because I don't notice them. The words are literally interchangeable to me, to the point where I don't even know which is used where. That has no reason to change, although it doesn't mean I don't notice wrong uses of other words (such as crisps/chips and mom/mum).

But even if that wasn't the case, I have no idea how that translates into having no respect for other customs and cultures and language. I mean, other than the fact that I'm Australian you have no idea of my own customs and culture and language, so I'm not really sure what you're basing these assumptions off of.

I do understand their view point, I just think it's unnecessarily nitpicky in fanfiction. Hell, published fiction makes those kinds of mistakes all the time, so I find it weird that it 'takes them out of the story' and 'makes it unreadable' (which, for the record, the PR fanfic did not do for me; I was mostly confused, because it took me ages to figure out the author thought that Aussies called chips crisps. My secret was mostly made in jest, which I kind of thought was obvious?).

I just don't think small mistakes like that are something to get all that worked up about; a polite correction is fine, anything more than that seems disproportionate. Because fanfiction.
