Am I the only one whom finds it annoying that they use different terms in the subs for season 1 and 2?
In season 1 they referred to the common folks as "Peasants", and in season 2 they are using the term "Plebeians" instead.
I agree that "Peasant" wasn't the correct term to use, as "Plebeian" or "Commoner" better describes the social standard of those without magic. But I really bugs me that they aren't using the same term throughout the series.

Which subs are you talking about? Official ones? And what's the Japanese term? Precision is more important than consistency imo.

I am not great at Japanese. And do not know of to write the word just by hearing it.
I believe the subs to be the official ones (I didn't know that there were multiple subs for the anime).
I value precision a great deal, but if the term used isn't wrong, I'd prefer consistency over precision.
