The English language is in fact getting worse. Humans are making the English language itself bad. We are the ones changing the style of not just how we write the English language, but speak it as well. In other words, you can say the English language is getting bad.
Orwell is a person who also believed that the English language is getting bad because he says, "It becomes ugly and inaccurate," (par. 2). He says this because he believes that our thoughts are getting foolish. He also says this because the English language is bad already. He is trying to say that worldwide, the English language is becoming somewhat of a problem.. Now, it becomes more easier to think or create foolish thoughts. People seem to not care no more about whether speaking the English language good, as it is supposed to be spoken like. Although Orwell states this, he also believes that we can make that progressive change. He says that we can avoid the foolish thoughts if we are just willing to take the necessary trouble. And if we can do this, we would be able to think , more clearly and that this would be the first step in to fighting against the English language that we have all supposedly damaged.
Orwell also compares the English language to a drunk man. He describes that a man is taking a drink because he is a failure. So basically, because he is a failure in life, he feels the need to drink. Orwell says that this relates to what is happening to the English language. It is kind of funny how he uses a drunk man to symbolize the English language, but he wants to show, that like a drunk man, the English language is all over the place and that it is out of our control. When he said that when people do not care no more and that is why they decide to do more bad things as in trying to ruin our version of our own language. We are persuaded to drink the same way that we are persuaded to have to speak a certain way, which might not be the right way. When people start to speak the English language, they tend to not care whether or not they are speaking it well or not and a drunk guy does not care whether or not others care about his drinking. So then, that can lead to them doing it more often. It is mostly like a cycle that a person continues doing.
Orwell gives strong evidence about why he thinks the English language is becoming ugly and inaccurate, but he also gives off ideas of how we can take the first step in teaching others the importance of speaking the right way. To fix this problem of how we talk and write the English language, it will not only take one person, but together, we can. To stop the bad habits that we have with our way of speaking, we need to all work together in order to get it done.
I do agree with Orwell;s idea, and I also think that the English language is getting sloppy and it is being misused in many occasions. An example of these bad habits is when people text.People seem to always have to switch up how the words are written when they text. When people text with their phones, the word or phrase that they would actually be saying would be texted with acronyms. Instead of saying "You.", they text "U". People take the shortcuts to writing in order to text faster. Also, some people seem to text like this; "WhAt ArE YOu DoInG?" People seem to forget that that you can only capitalize the first letter of a word at the beginning of a sentence, people, places or names. Since people think it is okay to not write the English writing well when they are talking to their friends, they would most likely assume it was okay to speak it improperly as well.
Overall, I agree with Orwell's ideas about the English language getting all nasty and how it becomes our silly little mistakes due to our foolish thoughts. The English language is becoming this thing in which it leads to other factor, in this case, it leads to both speaking and writing all wrong.
