| Apr 19, 2018 at 16:12 | comment | added | sumelic | @Lambie: Your comment saying that I "advise 'In an era where' over 'In an era when'" seemed to me to imply that I said that it would be better to use "where" than to use "when". What I actually said was that it seems fine to me to use "where". More than one wording can be correct, so by saying that one wording is fine, I haven't said anything about which wording is preferable (because I'm honestly not sure what I think about that). | |
| Apr 19, 2018 at 16:10 | comment | added | Lambie | Over is just another way to say instead of. In my experience, sentences that look like that are formal. It's not just friends' chit-chatting..... | |
| Apr 19, 2018 at 16:08 | comment | added | sumelic | @Lambie: "I would say that "where" is fine in this context." I didn't advise using anything over anything else. As far as I can see, the original post doesn't specify whether the writing is in a formal context, or in a less formal context like a blog post. And I'm not sure that "where" is less formal. | |
