Anybody thought about the effect this new "world" has on our mental models?

Read this stuff about the big hullaballoo about adult content...

Listen to the words and references they make in their entries, pick out the jargon, new phrases, and word representations of how they view the SL world, with islands and a mainland, and...

If nothing else, this endeavor will embed the language, culture and ideas of a "new world" on our real world, and changes the lexicon.

Can it create a unique and new mental model for someone who is learning in SL?

Thanks for pointing towards Dr. Gee. So far he's quite the interesting character.
