Understood, thus: "language like Esperanto but one that's further purified and also controlled by an Academy"

But, yes, I agree that this is coming closer to Newspeak and that should set off alarms for people.



Totally. I understood that from your phrasing and I was sure you were aware of what you were describing. You set up the pins so I knocked em down. (also, I was fascinated with Esperanto as a kid.. and also with Orwell. So your twisty path to saying Newspeak was right on my wavelength and I skipped a few preambles)

[edit] Your profile says "google fanatic". Is this a good time to maybe elaborate on that? I would love to know..
