This is a huge, huge thing for me. Nothing will jar me out of a fantasy faster than OKAY. I am watching Legend of the Seeker for the first time, and if I didn't already love it so much, the use of that term would really make me eyeroll. It was extremely out of place in Star Wars too, BTW.
My 12 year old extremely geeky son turned to me during the same show when one of the characters used the term "instruction manual" and said, "No one in that world would say that! Why did they write that?"
So that.
Those are the two things that leap out to me. But I know there are others.
