Double-plus good for those who oppose P.C. constructions in TW.
Language IS power.
Those who maipulate language are manipulating thought. This is true whether
they operate by insisting that "P.C." terms be used, or by demanding that
"is" be allowed to mean just what they meant at the moment they said it, no
more, no less.
Read Orwell.
All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
