Orwell English analysis

Language is something that the human race can not live without. The English language is one that is closely analyzed and used to communicate issues not only in English speaking countries, but all over the world. The English language is statistically the one used the most worldwide and many English texts and audio . The English language has been abused and thwarted in order to create different political and societal views. In George Orwell's speech, "Politics and the English Language," he analyzes thow the English language has been misused all over the world.
George Orwell's proclaims that English speakers have damaged the English language and he goes as far as to call modern English, "ugly and inaccurate," because we do not put time into perfecting and getting the most truth out of our language. Our language, as George Orwell states, perpetuates thoughts that are incorrect because of our lack about the language in which we speak.
I have to disagree with the fact that the English language emerged as a sub conscious development of other languages that already existed. "...The half-conscience belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes." I believe that the English language was one that was probably very closely studied when formed . Although we have created the English language, George Orwell does have a point when he says that we have permanently damaged what we now consider to be the English language. George Orwell speaks of the Modern English which has been altered by slang and other languages that have penetrated into English-speaking societies.
In current times, many people speak in a way in which people have not spoken before. Orwell believes that we have done irreversible damage to the English language.
