Orwell on the English Language
Feb. 8th, 2008 10:24 amAs you may know, I write a lot. Can't help it, just spews out of my fingertips onto the keyboard. On this blog I write informally, I use slang, I don't worry too much about rules. I write stuff that I don't even believe, just to try out different points of view. But I find that I agree and for the most part already implement George Orwell's rules. This link goes to his still-apropos 1946 essay.
