no-maj (ugh)

That's probably my single biggest bone with the new information. wtf is wrong with "muggle"?

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

It's a word with a very British feel to it. I can understand wanting to replace it for Americans, but if the replacement is "no-maj"? then that just sounds awkward.

[diet_poison]

idk, I guess, but the majority of words in the language are the same between Britain and the US. If she really wanted to make it one of those dialectical words that changes like "boot" and "jumper" she could have but like you said "no-maj" doesn't sound good. Frankly I think it sounds terrible as well as being super not-clever.

But I don't think it would have been a stretch at all to just assume "muggle" was carried across the pond like most of the rest of the language. It's a concept that's been around for a long time in canon and wouldn't have much reason to change like technology or food.
