Newspeak

In my opinion, the changes they are making in the dictionary are very unnecessary. I mean can you imagine someone saying, "Whoa, I did doublegood on my math test." It all seems strange to me and I don't see the big deal of leaving words in there that need to be used. In our language today, I would actually like to see more words added, not subtracted. Yeah, I agree some words are useless but having a variety of words to all mean the same thing make this world more open and free. You are allowed to use whatever word you want instead of being limited of choices. Being on the eleventh edition in their dictionary, only time will tell how long it takes before they all just don't even know what to say anymore because of all the words being cut. It seems unreal being able to forget all about a word and pretending like it never existed. By 2050, they said everyone would have no knowledge of the Oldspeak dictionary. I guess I never even thought of words being erased like that, vanished forever. It's not something I would enjoy, but the Party are just about the only people who have a say in what goes on in their society.
