I'm not sure that's any different from reading any historical text other than perhaps the abbreviated timeline. Written language always requires some context about when it was written to accurately parse, it's just less obvious for writing that isn't all that old. Modern prints of classic or historical writings sometimes have footnotes clarifying meanings that have changed over time; I don't know if it's happened yet, but I can definitely imagine a footnote clarifying e.g. "this tweet was written when the gun emoji still looked like a gun and this was meant to be more threatening than it appears now" | ||
