Unspeak
Unspeak is a blog I have just started reading, by the writer Steven Poole. You can read it here. Steven makes a living out of raging against people who abuse language, either consciously via propaganda or unconsciously via sheer laziness or lack of thought.
I don’t know him at all, and haven’t yet read the book that predated the blog (also called Unspeak), but I enjoy his writing. His mix of anger and precision reminds me a bit of George Orwell’s Politics and the English Language, a formative influence on me. I assume Steven is a fan of Orwell too, given the title of his blog.
