You know professors who don't know the difference between the 16th, 17th & 18th century? We're in worse shape that I thought! Oh, and it's gaffes, not gaffs. I don't usually correct spelling (I make mistakes too) but since you're a history professor, I thought I'd set you straight.

Yes, I do. People that use the terms often, in particular, will say the wrong century. Most of the time they/we correct ourselves, but sometimes these mistakes happen. It’s quite common. I’m comfortable without a spell check in this most informal forum, but thank you anyway.
