That may actually support this person's story... Language will not cease to change in the next forty years, any time travelers from 2048 would probably need to learn today's languages as a separate dialect to be able to get by in today's world. If they make this kind of mistake, it may mean they are used to the way English will be.

The correct term is Astrologist, not Astronomist. The guy's trying too hard. And did you notice that this thread was well over a year old before it was bumped?

I'm well aware of both points. How do they negate or contradict my point?
(By the way, I don't really believe in this stuff, and time travel seems rather impossible to me. But time will tell.)
