I keep telling them...
I'm a realist (and not in the political science/ international relations meaning ;)!)...
A new meaning for Horrible Histories!

Cobwebby English and 90s phrasing

You've got to laugh at Hornblower's comments on a few words chosen by Steven Lattimore in his translation of Thucydides. One as being to his ears "cobwebby english" and the other sounding too like it's from the 1990s (instead of the 400s BCE)!
