The english vocabulary is constantly expanding, even in 2010, yet in the society of 1984 the amount of words is decreasing, and the only way anyone can communicate anymore is newspeak, a series of smashed together words that can create entire paragraphs in what looks like a matter of sentences. its an epidemic that is close to how far people have taken txtlk, or talking like in a text message, its uneducated, and annoying, not to mention how difficult it is to understand. luckily, government documents are not written in words used in text messaging.
Newspeak is a form of writing small amounts of information so that people can quickly read and understand the message. Its too bad the only people who use newspeak are the only people who can understand it. To the people it is aimed at its pretty much a pile of junk. The proles for instance cant understand newspeak the way parents cant understand text talk. Its a jumble of letters and numbers and abbreviations that loses all emotion in translation.
I love adjectives, I don't want to envision a world without describing words. they show emotion, they show emphasis and passion, and the world of literature would not exist without them, yet newspeak does away with these wonderful words, and it makes me sad to thing that these people don't have a way of describing the euphoric rush that is the feeling of complete and unconditional love, it surges through ones heart and mind like an explosion of joy and adulation besides saying it is "doubleplusgood"
