I can believe it because that example can be used the other way around too. Your grandma is 90 so therefore you are a third generation (Your family name) and think of how the world now is so much different than when your grandmother was young and she was the third generation of her ancestors before that. Your grandma saw cars become invented that would replace the trains in her day that had replaced horses for her ancestors. Now imagine it backwards. You know what cars are, but if gas became extinct it would only be a memory to tell your grand children as they drive around in their solar charged electric vehicles. Or in the case of a nuclear apocolypse their horses. And what would they tell their grandchildren? Of metal boxes moved by black wheels through fire magic? That we used to travel great distances in large metal snakes or fly over oceans in huge metal birds? This phenomenon has been called a 'cargo cult' where technology is revered as magic or the divine. Now that I think about it why aren't the horses mutated like the ONE deer they saw in Season 1.. As for the language.. well look at modern 'Engrish' people using new slang and terms, emojis, memes, etc. compared to how people spoke English in the 1950's. But for the show the language was developed to weed out Mountain Men as only warriors learned English. Who knows maybe even Becca herself helped develop the code into the language to fool ALIE who was spying the whole time.
