I found this piece of writing to be very interesting. I found it refreshing that someone wrote about bad writing. This made me realize that even if the writing sound professional with big words it does not always mean it is good writing. It also gives examples of what no to do instead of how to do something which is very helpful in my opinion. It gives me examples on how to further better my own writing. While reading this article there was a certain quote that stood out to me. George Orwell states, “These rules sound elementary, and so they are, but they demand a deep change of attitude in anyone who has grown used to writing in the style now fashionable.” This made me reflect back to what @ramsescastillo03 said, “Orwell makes good points that many historians and English professors would agree with but society changes all the time and so does any language.” Our society is changing its language. I have a 16 year old sister and she comes home saying stuff like ,”It’s lit,” or “OMG that’s so fire.” I have no idea what she’s talking about sometimes. But Orwell explains that sometimes its better to keep stuff simple and to the point instead of complicated.
