era

From S23Wiki

This is the JargonFile (V4.00) entry for era - Next: Eric Conspiracy, Prev: epsilon squared
:era, the: /n./ Syn. epoch. Websters Unabridged makes these words almost synonymous, but era more often connotes a span of time rather than a point in time, whereas the reverse is true for epoch. The epoch usage is recommended.
