> "ancient" is too strong a word for a text from 1871 > use "old", or "antique" Yes, thanks! I knew the precise meaning of "ancient" (it is like in "Ancient Greece" or "Ancient Egypt", it is about times that were really different), it seems as an exaggeration, but thought that "old" is not specific enough and "antique" didn't came into my mind. At the same exaggeration is a valid literacy device. Thank you, for pointing at that. I really appreciate that, because I feel that my English is not perfect, and the lack of feedback in internet conversations doesn't allow me to improve it.
