>That setting is also connected to the real world btw,
Yes I know, I played Die Rapsutin, Die!.
>and Baba Yaga is a real character.
Yes I know, shes from ancient Russia, taught spellcraft by a Norn.
>Everyone speaks English.
Nope. The Devs have said that its explicitly not English.
Common is a Taldan-based trade language, at least in Avistan and surrounding regions. In Tian Xia Common is Tien, the language of the notChina Empire that broke apart. In Garund its Mwangi. In certain APs, such as Blood Lords, its Osiriani or another local language.

>but some words you just don’t tamper with.
Unfortunately for you there are no words that cannot be tampered with. There will be new definitions and alterations, like literally becoming an intensifier or even an antonym of itself instead of meaning exact or literal. Arcane has long had another meaning in D&D and other ttrpgs and has solidified a new definition meaning a certain style of magic and spellcraft.

>If I see shit like Magus being used to refer to battle-mages like in Pathfinder I WILL point out how retarded it is
And I don't care how buttmad you get about the name, it now also refers to a specific style of spell sword and not just Zoroastrian priests. Besides that, zoroastrian priests don't exist on Golarion, so using a name that happens to be similar is perfectly fine. At least for myself, I dont pronounce them the same anyway, Mag-us for the priests and Maj-us for the class.

>but don’t be mad if someone gets upset.
I dont get mad, I just dismiss them as retards or autists. I don't really give a shit if your mad about people not using the words in a prescriptivist way. For me, its just another definition among many. But I understand that sometimes people have lower IQs or are ESL and need singular simple definitions for words, despite many having multiple and sometimes being contradictory.
