As an at-home-dad for more than a decade, I pride myself on the ability to read and understand ancient languages. I am the Rosetta Stone of baby talk. Toddler got a problem but has the vocabulary lower than the dog? I’m your guy. A teenager that has invented a new system of language based on memes and TikTok? I can write the dictionary and teach it at the next convention. But the Post-it Notes my wife leaves around the house? Well, not all codes were meant to be broken. The Post-it Notes are based on a language I can only assume take its inspiration from fairy dust and abstract art. I … [Read more...]
