You are right. I meant George Orwell!



>who had an effect that writing lost a lot of overcomplication

I hope you're not referring to NewSpeak from 1984 which was an invention by the party to limit people's expression so that they could not verbalize disloyalty, and therefore not even think it.

A horrible example of state control.
