'The English language becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.' If such bad habits could be overcome then we 'can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step towards political regeneration.'
George Orwell, Essays
2000 edition, Penguin
