If you're writing 18th century dialogue, this website lets you search words and phrases to double-check whether they were in use & meant what you intend. It doesn't include every period-accurate use of a word/phrase, but it certainly helped me separate genuine 18th century grammar from the vague tangle of 💬old-fashioned fancy-speak💬 I've internalized from TV and video games.

Other websites that let you do this:

Johnson's Dictionary Online (thanks @yellowbelliedtoad!) – 1755 and 1773

Green's Dictionary of Slang – 1300s to today

A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue – 1788

Feraud's Dictionaire critique de la langue française – 1778

A dictionary of the English and Italian languages by Giuseppe Baretti is a bilingual dictionary from 1790!

(when I write Jane Austen fan fiction, I only use words she used, which doesn't restrict me very much because she had a massive vocabulary)

[toomanypossumsinthistrenchcoat]

The historical thesaurus of English may also be of interest. Lists all the words used for things as far back as Old English (therefore a good thousand years), with their dates and links to their entries in the Oxford English Dictionary and the Thesaurus of Old English should you wish. Organised by meaning rather than alphabetical which is fun (fear not you can search things)

I mean, Josef Mеngеlе DID die here. Like, that’s something that happened. You know, the piece of shit Nаzі ““doctor”” who experimented on people? His bones are here. We’re using him as a practice skeleton for forensic medicine students at the University of São Paulo. I’m 100% serious.

[crtter]

For the record! We’re not fucking around with his bones just because. Technically, they should be given to his living relatives, but they really, REALLY don’t want him. Like, we’ve been asking them if we can mail him to them ever since he was identified in the 90s, and every time they’re like “hell no, fuck that guy” which is understandable but now we’re at this standstill in case a family member eventually does want him back, and we’re absolutely NOT burying a nаzі all nice and cozy in our soil if we can help it. So I guess it was decided that the best course of action was to fuck around with his bones. In the name of education.

Cant be considered a win since brazil gave him and thousands of other nazis sanctuary in the first place. Oh he died there? How did he get there ????

[crtter]

Well, gee! I have NO idea. You see, us third-worlders aren’t too smart! That’s why we need you, brave internet people who have never set a foot here, to teach us about our own history! I always thought that the Nazi ratlines into South America were organized by this Argentinian Nazi sympathizer millionaire who gave a fortune to the political campaign of the future dictator of Argentina in exchange for him to turn a blind eye to war criminals being smuggled into the continent, but I suppose I was wrong! Maybe our government just decided to give Nazis a warm welcome and cushy government science or engineering jobs and never try them for their crim-

I dipped scoops in ranch like carrots.

I hope you have a good night despite this.

Several people would like to know how I peeled it, and the answer is, by removing the skin. This is called flaying. Hope that helps :)
