Vocabulary in Our Society

Re-read the pages involving Winston's lunch with Syme. Syme was talking about words being removed from the language, so people wouldn't be able to label their thoughts. Do you think our society is heading in this direction? Think about the way you spell words on IM, etc. Are we already living in a place Syme would like?

I don't think that our society will be headed toward the direction of what Syme would like it to be. We do shorten words in IM when we are chatting but that because we want to make our simple and easier. But in the book Syme is changing or getting rids of words so that Thought Police could have easy time finding people who are thinking. We are already using words like lol which actually means laugh out loud and technically we know what it means when we are chatting in IM.

In reality we don't use this word other then IM, but mostly when we get older and mature we don't use those slang's words we use mature words. In Winston society they're trying to get rids of words like bad cause they think its pointless to cause if you have good why not say ungood but that doesn't make any sense. So in our society we won't use words like ungood or unhappy when we know that's not the proper way of saying it. So yeah i don't think words that we use will be easily forgotten if we have people who knows what's right form wrong.
