I've been preaching this message for several years now. Sadly, instead of reading Orwell's 1984 as a warning, the Left studied it as an instruction manual. Words matter. Newspeak is a weapon. And it's not just used in communication. Most people think in words. This lesson was drilled into me in the late 1970's when I received a contract to write a book for college students who could not read above a third grade level. (Yes, that's a real issue with far more college students than you might guess. In fact, one college prof told me that he had graduate students who couldn't read above a third grade level) I was limited to a 1,200-word vocabulary. As I struggled with it I discovered the simply fact that if a person doesn't have a word for a concept, they can't conceive that concept. So, don't pass by this essay lightly. Take it seriously. It is serious, very serious...

CPT Jack Durish No wonder some of the current and recently retired wonder kids have an issue with understanding instructions and older written military material since it is written at the eight grade level.
