Orwell Warned that 1984 newspeak is not new

Orwell criticized use of euphemisms, Dying Metaphors, "verbal false limb 'Operators'", Pretentious diction, & meaningless words," because these debase the language and are tools of corrupt government. Suggest people read his article, Politics and the English Language in addition to "1984" and "Animal Farm."
