This would make a lot of sense. It ties in with what we've discussed here about how the books began in the 1980s, and Anita's still using the slang/wearing the clothes that a young woman like her would've done at the time: well, like LKH would've done at the time. I think with long-running series it's kind of a given that you look the other way on stuff like that unless it's really badly handled (in the X-Men comics, there's been forty-plus years of comics, but I think the events of the comics have maybe only covered fifteen years, to judge by character ages), but for LKH it probably is yet another source of insecurity...
