I started reading “Doublespeak” by William Lutz, published in 1989. In the introduction professor Lutz mentions the Committee on Public Doublespeak of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE). So, I thought I’d do a search on the committee and see what they are up to today.
The webpage for the committee at the NCTE broadly proclaims an annual award for doublespeak that goes back to 1974. Only they didn’t give out an award last year and they are no longer accepting nominations. Here
Taking a look back at past recipients and one gets the impression of the committee being more double standards than doublespeak. It’s just as well that they’ve stopped taking nominations given the decidedly bias leftist direction of the award.
All time winner has to be Barack Obama.
Leftist shits
I used to work at one of the Department of Redundancy Department facilities. (DORD.)
I had an assigned parking space in both parking lots.
And two wastebaskets at each of my desks.
We Xeroxed both copies of our duplicates.
Good times…
About as worthless a group and publicity stunt as the- Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and the Doomsday clock.
Leftists bitch list since 1974.
I’d say this administration has broken them. Between Biden’s gibberish, Kamala’s absurdities, and Psaki’s officiations the committee probably decided it had to redefine its mission or go insane.
A focus on the forked and crossed tongues of the administration ignores all the heaps and heaps of doublespeak for the left that we’ve been assaulted with this century.
I’m really disappointed in the Doublespeak committee in particular and the NCTE in general for their dishonesty and bias.
Leftism is the anal cancer of society.
