> Orwell despised a lot of words. He wrote.. in 1946.. “#PoliticsAndTheEnglishLanguage,”.. tak[ing] aim at.. pet hatreds: excessive use of Latinate instead of Anglo-Saxon words; unwarranted use of the passive voice; mixed metaphors; clichés; and the phrase “not un-,” as in “it is not unlikely that Trump will seek office in 2024 if not barred from doing so.” (Redundant, fumes Orwell. Just say, “It’s likely.”)..
