haha, thank you! I get the feeling, from reading that thread, that no matter what I used, 1/3 of readers wouldn't notice what I called it, 1/3 would go "Yes, that's correct," and 1/3 would immediately compose angry letters about how the terminology is All Wrong.
This thing that I'm writing is fantasy, and set in a place that's vaguely Italy-ish Renaissance-ish, so I probably have a lot of leeway in what to call the location the characters are meeting.
(Gah, this location exists for, like, six paragraphs in one scene, but my brain is stuck on YOU MUST FIND THE RIGHT THING TO CALL IT even though it's a draft. But for now, they're meeting where the barges dock.)
