Was anyone else thrown off by ERA being clued as “long time”? I was expecting EON or even AGE, but I feel like ERA is typically defined and clued as a set period of time, not on it being long. I feel like an ERA, while it could be a long time, could also be (in the scale of years) fairly short, like the contemporary era only being about 30 years. I freely admit my perception might have been influenced by Taylor Swift and her fans’ definition of Eras.
