Writer's Note:

The linguistic mutagenic properties of the internet is having an interesting effect on modern language. In the past, language barriers arose as a consequence of space (geography), but in our modern, hyperconnected world, barriers are increasingly defined by time as language evolves rapidly online. I don't think it's something to get antsy about, as a lot of it is quite entertaining ("Dad of Boy") or even genuinely creative, but you get the sense that the Red Queen would be very pleased by the current state of affairs.
