Small fish. Big Pond. Big, more advanced and educated pond. Small uneducated backwards country bumpkin fish.
I guess I should have finished school.
Not that it would have done me any good. I mean sure I'll know all about the history of my world and could recite my ancestry backwards and forwards. But I still wouldn't know a damn thing about cells. Or electricity. Or algebra. Science in general. Computers. How to drive a car. Illnesses- diseases- Gravity. TV.
I can shoe a horse. Fix a wagon wheel. I know how to use a crossbow and long bow. Not a gun. If pressed I could make a decent sword. I can hunt game. Skin a deer. I can even fight with a sword. In a combat situation.
I know which plants are poisonous and which'll give you the runs and other's that'll help with a wound. At least at home. Don't know a damn about chemistry.
Long words make me run to the dictionary. Which I have enough problems using cause I have problems reading.
Apparently not being exposed to something makes you ignorant.
It's not like I can wave a wand or something and make it happen. I'm not a god. Despite my powers, I'm not a god.
I don't want to be a god.
I just want to understand stuff.
I like understanding stuff. I like knowing stuff. I don't like feeling stupid. But then again, who does?

It's not my fault my world hasn't moved past the fucking iron age!

Sorry. Prolly not what you wanted to hear.
And some how I can't see some of those folks in my world. They'd act like they were among savages and expect us to be awed by them.
But I guess you were trying to say that just cause I don't know squat about your world doesn't mean I don't know something useful.
