Political correctness is transforming our language into George Orwell’s “newspeak” a language designed to make creative thought or any dissent against Big Brother impossible.

Yep. Pare away the many different meanings of words, ostensibly to streamline it, but more truthfully, to confine the ability of language to express a concept that deviates from the government’s decree of what language should be allowed to express and how it can be expressed.

Heck, even “Salad” might have to be excised from the “Liberal Newspeak Dictionary”, because it implies there could be food other than healthy/approved vegetarian dishes.
