entry #7

Orwell states that bad influences have caused the decline of the English language, including economic and political causes.
Since Orwell wrote this essay i believe the English language is in worst condition. In the past 60 years it has declined. One prime example of the misuse of the language is music, the music that is played on telivision and radio can sometimes change the pronunciation of word or the spelling.
What Orwell wrote to describe how to improve language is old and written a long time ago. It is hard to understand and would be better if it was rewritten as new. Maybe thats what Orwell meant, how if our understanding of the english language was still good this essay would be better understandable.
