Principles and the English language

adactio.com/journal/17997

Orwell said:

Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

Most approaches that have been proposed fall into one of four categories: (1) reliance on hard copy, (2) reliance on standards, (3) reliance on computer museums, or (4) reliance on migration. Though some of these may play a role in an ultimate solution, none of them comes close to providing a solution by itself, nor does their combination.

A less profane and Oedipal manifesto for a better World Wide Web

Matthew teaches us how to make websites. I like this one better than the other one because it's, well, “less profane”.
