It’s cool. Others felt differently, which is the good thing about subjectivity, something for everyone. :) As a side note, it’s always best imo to use terminology specific to your world without reticence and understood contextually rather than explicitly defined.. because that’s how we speak about things natural to us and it makes the world consistent to itself. We wouldn’t bother explaining what a toaster is, even if it was a new concept to an unseen alien viewing our conversation. And they may not immediately understand but would pick it up in time, or if they don’t it’s not terribly important, just the general gist of it, but most important of all is protecting the realism of the world. The opposite is when something’s an info dump, which I see a lot (example: ‘hi Jason.’ ‘Oh hi princess eve, so good to see you so recently after we vanquished the dark Lord in the Great War of aldebaraan.’ ‘Uhhh..yeah, weird that youre mentioning it seeing as I was there and it was like yesterday. Are you ok?.’.. checks for wiretap)
