If you're writing 18th century dialogue, this website lets you search words and phrases to double-check whether they were in use & meant what you intend. It doesn't include every period-accurate use of a word/phrase, but it certainly helped me separate genuine 18th century grammar from the vague tangle of 💬old-fashioned fancy-speak💬 I've internalized from TV and video games.

Sometimes writers do thoughtlessly insert familiar cultural values into fictional settings without considering the implications, but you can't assume that's the case just because you find the values in question distasteful. Some of us work very hard to come up with plausible reasons for a character in a setting with no Jesus to have Catholic guilt.

And they’re all Vlad
