1984 "dictionary"

In some ways the Ministry of Truth's Newspeak is similar to our dictionaries and language today, but there are also ways it differs. One way it would be alike, would be we have dictionaries also. We are also constantly editing ours and publishing newer ones with new or more recent words. Syme is currently working on the 11th edition. Their society also bases their language off of this dictionary, like we do ours. We learn new words by looking them up so we can later use them. One way it would be different, would be how they take words out. I'm not a hundred percent sure if we do that or not, but I definitely don't believe we do as often as they do. They find theirselves removing words that could be "harmful" or give too many people ideas to speak badly about the Big Brother. They change creative bigger words to insignificant boring words. I would not like the way they do this in their society. The "party" wants to stay in control and this is one way they can do this. Today, we have the freedom of speech and a wide variety of words. This makes us sound more intelligent and interesting, when we don't use simple words over and over again. I am pretty satisfied with our language today. Some rules are strange and spelling sometimes has tricks, but after growing up learning English, it isn't that bad. If we did change our language it would be hard to have millions of people all change.
