Newspeak Dictionary

In a way, I agree with what the Ministry of Truth is doing to their Newspeak dictionary. They are in the process of taking out all of the "uneeded" words. For example, instead of using words such as "bad" or "great", they will say "ungood" and "plusgood". The whole concept of the idea is to simplify the whole dictionary and language, requiring less thought. This effect will lessen the chances of thought crime occuring. I think our own language should be mixed around the same way. I'm not saying take out simple words like "bad" and using "ungood". But if you already have a word to describe something, there is no need for more. Therefore words such as terrible, horrendous, etc... should be taken out of our language. So overall, I think the Minitruth's decision to de-complicate the language is a doubleplusgood idea.
