Response to Politiccs and the English

Even though this paper was written in half century ago, when I read it, I still can felt that what Orwell said is still can be seen today. Since the language was created, it became the method to communicate and the tool to record the information. So, this requires both of the author and reader or speaker and listener can understand the meaning clearly. However, as the improving of the language, there is a bad habit growing too. Some people like to use some strange metaphors or some “too update” order to create what they say and write. It seems that only when everybody needs to ask them what they exactly want to say can mean they are so intelligence. At this point, the language’s function is disappeared. And Orwell just pointed out this bad phenomenon in his paper. In my opinion, we are writing is because we want to show to somebody what we thinking. If nobody can understand what you are talking about, then what anything else can your writing does? When we talk about politics, sometimes, we can see many political articles were written in their jargons. Of course, if these are for the scholars, that is no problem. But if you use these jargons in the news or newspaper or magazine, what would happen? I am sure nobody would buy it because not everyone is economist or politician. And usually, we are, the common people are the biggest part who very concern about the gas price and the interest for the households. So, the most intelligence way to write is not long limbs or the complicate words but the simple and easy writing. By the way, in the time that the information spreads in a high-speed, only the simple and clear language can adapt it. Or when you are still thinking what this word means, another word has already ran around the world.
