And they all communicate in that fad language English
instead of using NewSpeak. Despite the fact that in
NewSpeak your sentences are clear and unambiguous,
people are still required to use languages which fail
to accurately deliver to the listener the intent of
the speaker. Remember, "You can't put too much water
into a nuclear reactor!"
