    The Decay of our Language is Happening0

    “Political chaos is connected with the decay of language.”   -George Orwell   In an article entitled “Valuing Vocabulary,” published Friday (May 20), Cherie Harder, President of the Trinity Forum, connects the state of modern politics, especially the current presidential election campaign, with lessons to be learned from George Orwell’s novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four.  In Orwell’s
