Introduction to DoubleSpeak

DoubleSpeak is a language style that intentionally obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words. Its design purpose is to make the negative appear positive, the unpleasant seem attractive, or to create ambiguity. It often involves the use of euphemisms, jargon, gobbledygook, and inflated language. For example, instead of saying 'lying', one might say 'alternative facts'. In real-world scenarios, this might be seen in corporate communications where layoffs are referred to as 'rightsizing', or in military contexts where bombings are described as 'air support'. The purpose is often to mislead, avoid responsibility, or make the ordinary seem extraordinary.
