 Politics and the English Language
hi, George Orwell: Politics and the English Language Quote: |
Another example is the hammer and the anvil, now always used with the implication that the anvil gets the worst of it.
| in this sentence, what is the traditional meaning of the hammer and the anvil? I could not find it in dictionaries. I do not understand what Orwell means. Quote: |
The range of verbs is further cut down by means of the -ize and de- formations
| in the essay, Orwell uses by means of several times, but can't it be replaced by by simply? May I know what you think? |
