10. ‘The Eleventh Edition is the definitive edition,’ he said. ‘We’re getting the

language into its final shape—the shape it’s going to have when nobody

speaks anything else. When we’ve finished with it, people like you will have

to learn it all over again. You think, I dare say, that our chief job is inventing

new words. But not a bit of it! We’re destroying words—scores of them,

hundreds of them, every day. We’re cutting the language down to the bone.

The Eleventh Edition won’t contain a single word that will become obsolete

before the year 2050.’ (G. Orwell)
