Isn't that what doublespeak is? There are a few readily available alternative formulations in everyday English which could be just as well employed here (no pun intended).
- KineticLensman 3y agoIn it's original Orwellian meaning, doublespeak is language that disguises, changes or even reverses the meaning of words and statements.
- ethanbond 3y agoI would say the difference between "Minors in violation" (GP's comment) exactly reverses the meaning of "Minors employed in violation" (the actual term). I didn't click through to the linked source so wasn't aware this was a subtle misquote.
- actionfromafar 3y ago“Employed” can also be implied, depending on context.
