The reporting of Big Brother's Order for the Day in The Times of December 3rd 1983 is extremely unsatisfactory and makes references to non-existent persons. Rewrite it in full and submit your draft to higher authority before filing."

those of Oceania
What is the Party's purpose in abbreviating language? Do you agree or disagree that they can eliminate/limit thought by limiting language?
