Politics and the English Language
By George Orwell
Horizon, April 1946
This essay was written by George Orwell and not by the poster. Unfortunately, I am unsure of the original formatting of the essay, so I've done my best to guess at it. This is my favourite essay on the English language and one I constantly keep in mind whenever I write anything. It is public domain in Canada as the author's death was more than 50 years from this date.
