Politics and the English Language by George Orwell, written 1946. I read this the other day and started reading it over and over; partly because of how I see words and euphemisms being used in the current political climate, but I could never point my finger to the problems as well as this essay did and it was written so long ago. And partly because politics plays a big role in EfU; it's interesting to see some of the most successful EfU politicians get away with breaking many of Orwell's rules. Lastly because it contradicts everything I was taught in high school. In college I had to adopt a similar writing style as to what Orwell espouses in order to do well in my papers. If you read anything, check out his examples in the beginning, they're awesomely bad.

Orwell is ~amazing~! While I haven't read this one, but I'll be sure to when I'm less busy.

I don't think your teacher will notice anything if you hand this in. I mean, how smart are teachers anyways? I hear an extreme grade coming your way.
