This is brilliant. I am pretty sure I read it before, but I do not mind rereading it. It would be interesting to think about present political discourse and try to find the words that were created solely to avoid saying the truth. One thing that surprised me is that some of the words he criticised as unnecessary foreign words, seemed completely and utterly English to me. For example, I did not know these words were foreign: "expedite, ameliorate, predict, extraneous, deracinated, clandestine." I guess Orwell really lost that battle.
