In an historical novel, how "dangerous" to publication chances is it to use what was common phrasing or words in the time period being written about?
If today they are politically incorrect or even explosive to certain groups?
What should an historical writer be true to (and still realistically expect publication)--the time period of the novel, or today's restrictions?
