I loath when anglophone writers* assume their language/culture is universal somehow.

Dawn is named the same by every alien race? Have you f~ing see how many different words for the concept exist in all across human languages**? Or even how it evolved in English? Apparently: NO.

So so incredibly STUPID!


* It happens with non-anglophone people too... but they can't go as easily without interacting with anybody outside of their language/culture bubble so generally learn their lesson when they get laughed out of the room.
