The only changes I've disagreed with editors about was nouns. Normally I'll change anything they ask me to, but I dig in my heels when it comes to changing things like flintlock to gun. I'm not big on dumbing down my words, particularly when they're being dumbed down to words with completely different meanings. (Flintlock and gun are bad examples, but brontide is not thunder, etc.)
