1984 assignment- Lunch with Syme


I don't think were heading into a society where people are gonna stop using proper words and use I.M language. I think when we write the im language word "lol" is an abbreviation like etc. I think we are inventing new ways of abbreviation by using I.M language. I don't think that were are living in a place that Syme would like because even though we use I.M language a lot I dont think he would like the way were using antonyms and synonym properly in the English language. I also think that George Orwell is trying to tell us whats the point of have proper English words when people don't use them and destroying the spelling by using made up abbreviation in not just I.M language but in society like the word "nigger" that changed overtime in history by pronunciation and definition. Look the way people use it now. I believe I'm in both sides referring the question "Do you think our society is heading to the path that Syme is talking about".
