Corrected entry: Hyde says that he could be drafted into the military after his eighteenth birthday; however, this episode is set in 1978, several years after the US military draft was quietly discontinued.

That '70s Show (1998)
Corrected entry: Characters often use the terms "dude" and "awesome" in their informal contexts; neither of these terms was part of the mainstream American vernacular until the early/mid 1980s.
Correction: The term "Dude" has been around for over a century, and the modern definition has been around since the 1960's. The word "Awesome" has also been around since the late 60's. So there is no error with anyone using the two terms.
No, Dude and Awesome weren't common slag until the 80s until films like Valley Girl and Fast Times at Ridgemont High became popular. It doesn't matter how hold the words are. Kids in Wisconsin didn't use them. They said groovy not awesome and Jack and man not dude.

Correction: Although it had been discontinued, males were still required to register for the draft when they turned 18. I had to sign up in 1980. Although there was no active draft we knew it could be reinstated at any time.
