Same. Also hate when character says “touch and go” in pieces before airplanes

What would the order (in the language of the day) have been, something as simple as “archers” or “archers, release”? “Release arrows?”

“Archers make ready” meaning they place the arrow in the bow but do draw, and possibly aim, might make sense.

Nock, aim, loose

[-] Z3k3@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

No clue how accurate it is but I have heard some films use something like. Archers, Loose. In place as in let the bow string loose.

We might never know, but they probably didn't even do these commands anyway, it doesn't make sense when you think about it. There would likely have just be a command to begin the attack and then each archer would loose arrows repeatedly at any target they thought they could hit.

Using modern english phrases to convey meaning to modern audiences is usually fine to me, as long as they don't reference modern history or events. but what really pisses me off is movies like "The Great Gatsby" that take place during the 1920s and have JayZ and Lana del ray playing at a rich person's party
