Freedom's Curse

In the article "Language evolution and the spread of ideas on the Web: A procedure for identifying emergent hybrid word family members" talks about some of the same things as "Freedom's Curse".  It talks about how words have come to mean different things and the historical evolution of words. This article is connected to "Freedom's Curse" because both articles talk about what words have come to mean and the impact that they have on the people around them when used. Words have come to mean many different things to different people and sometimes the meanings are offensive, but people don't always understand the way others mean the word.
