1) a chronological error in which a person, event, etc., is assigned a date later than the actual one.
2) a chronological error in which a person, event, etc., is assigned a date earlier than the actual one.
3) something or someone that is not in its correct historical or chronological time.
4) uh … something about a thing being not right, so, like, I can use the word to mean anything about anything that ain't right, right?
5) The A, B, and C subsets of this poll aren't listed in alphabetic order.
6) Someone is a dictionary nerd. -----
TW, the other two actual word definitions are for parachronism and prochronism. |

A pharaoh who takes a siesta in the afternoon.
A squad of French Indian War British riflemen, operating/ moving like a SAS team.
A Wild West pistoleer, holding their pistol horizontal….

Hmmm. Patton tanks being German Tiger tanks in the Battle of the Bulge.
Playing WW2 games and referring to Schmeissers as MP40….;) |

3. When are you going to post pictures of those Russian Orks you bought from me? I love some of the oddball stuff you do. |

Russian Orks? You have my attention. |

An anachronism is the main mechanism inside an anachronometer… |

Not only does the poll originator not understand the word "anachronism", he clearly does not understand the word "fantasy". |

This poll question makes no sense to me. But I won't quote the dictionary and be accused of being "dictionary nerd" so does this make me an anachronism? |

An anachronism is the main mechanism inside an anachronometer… Dude, from now on, all my time-travel timeline fixers will carry an anachrometer! When are you going to post pictures of those Russian Orks you bought from me? When I mash them up and paint them. I have been on a hiatus for moving my house. I got an offer for a better job about the time I bought those from you, so it's been … hectic. |

"Dude, from now on, all my time-travel timeline fixers will carry an anachrometer!" Remember to use only genuine Swatch anachronometers.  This is such a rich word to mine:
Anachronomicon (like that book in The Evil Dead)
Anachrimony (may be related to acrimony, or alimony, or even be an "undiscovered" atomic element) |

My anachronometer broke after the last Civil War reenactment I went to. |

My car has the deluxe gauge package which includes an anachronometer. I always have a full tank of gas and I am never late for work. In fact I never have to show up for work and I still get paid. |
