George Orwell's "Politics And The English Language"
[ send me this paper ]

According to the author, whose article entitled Politics and the English Language points out myriad speech problems, proper English has fallen by the wayside in not so delicate a plunge. In essence, Orwell argues that the "dumbing down" of English has caused people to unlearn the very fundamental principles of communication, reaching instead for flowery – if not completely incomprehensible – speech patterns that no more fulfill a meaning than provide for coherent thought.
