Orwell's Fixing Our "Language"

As readers we can sometimes be confused by how words are placed in front of us. Orwell makes a very valid point when he says that some people are using words that will make a person make a judgement about the statement before the actual meaning of the statement can be understood. It is important to consider that our choice of words can force a person to hate our position even when we are just trying to help them understand our point more clearly. There is a social site that offers a wonderful example that proves this point very clearly. That site, Topix, can have people arguing over even spelling in just a few minutes. This site offers everyone the right to look at topics that are local to their area and lets them discuss things that are controversial in a public forum with anonymous names. Many times people will use even names that are even confusing in the English language. I know that if I see a poster trying to put language in those posts that are trying to force the reader to follow their beliefs, I will often feel that I need to post just to make a statement that they need to understand that we are not forced to follow anyone’s certain rule. The site does seem to have people that think they are mediators, but there are no mediators assigned by the site. The people are not required to cite information either. I think that Orwell is making a very important statement that we should have an important change in the evolution of language. This site that I am referring to might make an important pull for this case. Some people use the English language to try and make them look intelligent, but this just doesn’t work for them. If you don’t know the language that well, please don’t use it out of context. Many times people feel confused and spend so much time correcting each other on the site that the actual topic at hand loses track and the whole thing becomes an argument over intelligence. Orwell’s argument is very persuasive and provides information about how important it is to use language that the reader can understand and helps to prove that we should not bias the reader as we write. We need to make our points clear without making the reader quit reading because we have antagonized their religious or personal beliefs with one single sentence. We can use our writing to bring the reader on a journey to show them information instead of trying to force them into a bout of anger or depression simply for our own amusement.
