• Politics and the English Language - George Orwell argued that refraining from jargon, cliches, platitudes and the like was essential to effective communication and the transmission of thought. He went further and suggested writing as clearly as possible. However, Orwell has been cited by rightists and the eXile wrote some stuff about him so we should ignore that. I'm thinking Random CaPiTaLiZeD LETters, PUOA, and gigantic clauses that use an inordinate collection of alternately ornate and crude verbiage to communicate ideas so frail and thin and said elsewhere in the paragraph that it is almost as if, they, in the metaphorical and literal senses, did not exist in any way shape or form whatsoever. Possibilities for the future: sentences made entirely out of cliches, swearwords made up of jamming together existing cusses with other words (fuckjammer, etc).
