[1990-1991] UK Universities / Ways for a NATO Soldier or Spy to Speak Good Russian?

[Icelander]

Assume that everything I know about online video games, I learned from books and interviews with victims. I'm just looking for whether any of the linguistic peculiarities would apply before the Iron Curtain fell and the rate of the spread of global culture accelerated exponentially with the popularization of the Internet and the terminally online.

I actually know more than I want about EVE Online, as a business and social pĥenomena, though I've never played the game or any other MMO. Eve Fan Fests are obviously held here in Reykjavík, CCP Games was a client of our firm almost since their founding, several of my friends were long-time players, one was an artist and writer for the game, etc.

But what does 'unintentional drill tweets' mean? Is the 'drill' meant in the sense of military drill, postulating a possible origin of the 'genderlect' within the military culture of conscript soldiers, a society that in the 1980s mostly or totally excluded females, and along with prisons are among the most likely institutions to house the development of a genderlect in an industrialized society?

And would that mean that some form of such genderlect should have existed in the 1980s and into 1990-1991?
