According to Mayo Clinic, Down syndrome causes a distinct facial appearance, intellectual disability, developmental delays, and may be associated with thyroid or heart disease in a person. So calling people with this syndrome 'Mongoloid' is extremely vulgar and disrespectful to ethnic Mongolians. Likewise, how will the population react if Down Syndrome was associated with 'European' looks? If you use this term, you are automatically a xenophobic, in my opinion.
An ERA is a long period of history with distinct characteristics. For example, the roman era. A PERIOD is less distinct and defined, it simply represents a portion of time, be it a very short portion, or a very long portion. For example, my period of sadness and the jurassic period. An EON is an actual unit of time. 1 eon = 1 billion years. This is also used rhetorically to symbolize a long long time. For example, man! my new iphone took like an eon to arrive in the mail! or also more appropriately the earth is 4.5 eons old.
Although the words earnings and wages are often used interchangeably, the differences between the two can be significant. When someone has no income other than wages, it's correct to use the terms to mean the same thing.ages are the money your employer pays you for the hours you work each week. A salary, on the other hand, typically defines a fixed amount your employer pays you, not necessarily for specific hours worked but for completing the duties of your job.
