The essay “The World of Doublespeak” reminds us of the effects of words and their connotations, and the importance of specific word choice in writing and speaking

The Word of Double Speak

            The word of double speak emphasizes on the outright lies that most people tend to perpetuate in their bid to pass a certain point. According to Lutz (1990), these lies are also commonly described as euphemisms. Mostly, people tend to tell lies or speak half-truths in a bid to ensure that they have passed a certain message that would otherwise not have passed. Ostensibly, this is because the half-truths would only serve to secure their purpose and intentions in the long run. At one time, I suffered due to double speak as I could not understand the local language of a country  I had visited since the locals were using their language and intentionally made the decision to deieve me in the course of a business transaction.
