For your amusement, here is one of my research tools for Shades of Milk and Honey. It’s very handy if you are doing anything set in the Regency. Also, I find it interesting how many vulgarities are just everyday speech now.

I find it interesting how many of these vulgarities have vanished without a trace! “Abigail” = lady’s maid? “Crowd” = fiddle? Wicked.
and i find it interesting J and I are interchangeable as a first letter depending on a vowel or consonant next
So fabulous. I looked briefly at this when you first posted it but now I’m working on a Regency period piece and had to come back. Thanks for this and the other resources you shared.
It’s one of my favorite resources.
