a·nach·ro·nism
(-nkr-nzm)
n.
The representation of someone as existing or something as happening in
other than chronological, proper, or historical order.
One that is out of its proper or chronological order, especially a
person or practice that belongs to an earlier time: "A new age had
plainly dawned, an age that made the institution of a segregated picnic
seem an anachronism" (Henry Louis Gates, Jr.).

au·then·tic
(ô-thntk)
adj.
Conforming to fact and therefore worthy of trust, reliance, or belief:
an authentic account by an eyewitness.
Having a claimed and verifiable origin or authorship; not counterfeit or
copied: an authentic medieval sword.


am i the only one wondering how the words 'anachronism' and 'authentic'
ended up in the same thread?
or being discussed by the same organisation?
