      I'll try again. In 1965 I was taught that it was Old English. I've done radio programmes about Old English. In common usage people often think it refers to Victorian English so I add eg 'what people used to call Anglo-Saxon'. Tweets have a limited number of characters so I can't https://twitter.com/FlorenceHRS/status/1353151692724969473 …

      Yes. You asked a question and I answered as a historian. People who are experts are informing you, with the best of intentions, that the term Anglo-Saxon is not accurate and is actively harmful, and providing resources to support that.

      There is an assumption that I didn't know and needed to be told. What's that thing called where one person thinks another person is ignorant and so the conversation starts with the first person giving the second person a lecture?

      The assumption you didn’t know Anglo-Saxon is a racist term was reliant on the assumption you wouldn’t intentionally use a racist term. So I think it’s rather complimentary, rather than patronising.

      I don't 'intentionally' use it other than to make clear that I'm not referring to Victorian English. Quite often I try to start from where people's knowledge actually is, rather than assume they know something.

      People have been very polite and are coming from an area of expertise and you’re acting like they are committing some grave offense for engaging in fields they are experts on.

          Thanks for that clarification. Can I suggest that if someone wants to inform another of something, it's not always the best approach to assume that the person you're talking to is ignorant? It doesn't feel great to be on the receiving end of that.

          As i say, I was using the term 'Old English' in the 60s but outside of a very restricted circle often found it to be an obstacle for understanding. I have been lumped in as 'Anglo-Saxon' eg in the 60s and this was racist towards me.

          Polite? The bit where I was accused of doing the ‘white frailty’ thing? That’s an accusation I’m a white supremacist. Very polite.
