It's Terra..... Not Earth

[Bromixius]

This is the sort of stuff that drives 40k fans crazy. Opening cutscene (which was great otherwise) the narrator said "Earth" Earth is a LONG forgotten name. Everyone calls it Terra.

Guys? Is this Heresy? Do I need to inform an Inqusitor?

[WilhemFaust]

Yeah that's a big no no as far as mistakes go...

For once it's good to be italian. Earth has always been Terra for us.
Jokes aside that's quite the oversight indeed.

[Mr White Wizard]

School boy error.

That's great. In Warhammer 40k It's called Terra. Holy Terra. In none of the books is it referred to as Earth. It's a continuity thing.

Completely. I threw my PC out the window.

How could that slip by? That's somehow worrying.

That's not quite the same thing: context matters. In that vein, it's like saying "<insert actual name>" is the same as "come back here you bastard!!!" because that's what the person's dad yelled while chasing them around the house. Despite referring to the same entity, they are not always the same thing.
