The summary: The World of Doublespeak

Why to lie, when you can lessen the strength of the words, you meant to say.

In

everyday talk, we usually use language called doublespeak, which cannot be defined as a language itself, but certainly, has something to do with it. The question is what...

Within the doublespeak, there are many

kinds of making things positive. For instance, when trying to be as tactful as one can, it is significant to know some euphemisms. Therefore, saying that someone passed away, you are saying politely that person died, and that it is in the slumber room, which is a euphemism meaning a room abound in the funeral business.

Had

you only once tried to make bad things look good, ugly-beautiful, unacceptable-fine by expressing them through speech that way? If yes, you spoke the doublespeak.

People, it seems, do not try to lie saying

those better thingsbut to protect themselves.

Jargon

A man, fragile as he is, cannot bear the

hardness of the truth, and trying to make it less stiff than it really is, begins to talk about things not so close to reality. Nevertheless, the speakers are obviously protected of disappointments of any kind.

is used for communication between people who belong to the same social groups. It becomes a real doublespeak the moment something simple seems complex.

Hence, the world of doublespeak is not

trouble-free at all. Those who do not think so should think more about it. However, we should conclude that false language is as strategic and carefully designed, as sensitive its purpose is.
