Bad Language Quotes

• El gran enemigo del lenguaje claro es la falta de sinceridad. Cuando hay un desfase entre los objetivos reales y los declarados, se recurre, por así decirlo, instintivamente a palabras largas y modismos agotados, como una sepia que echa tinta.

  George Orwell

• I learned a long time ago that you don't have to go around using bad language and trying to hurt people to show how macho you are. That stuff won't get you anywhere, it just shows lack of vocabulary and character.

• Una mente puede ser derrocada por las palabras; esa es la cuestión. ¿Qué le ocurre al cerebro de una persona que utiliza la pasiva, que escribe "No debe permitirse que se produzcan retrasos" en lugar de "Date prisa"? El usuario del verbo pasivo no quiere un universo en el que los agentes responsables realicen sus actos. ¿Lo veis? El mal lenguaje es, en última instancia, INMORAL.

• I am committed to writing appropriate books for the middle grades. This means no bad language, no gratuitous or explicit violence, and no sexual content beyond what you might find in a PG-rated movie – expressions of who likes whom, holding hands, and perhaps the occasional kiss. The idea that we should treat sexual orientation itself as an adults-only topic, however, is absurd. Non-heterosexual children exist. To pretend they do not, to fail to recognize that they have needs for support and validation like any child, would be bad teaching, bad writing, and bad citizenship.

• When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness’ sake. But don’t make a production of it. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker than adults, and evasion simply muddles ‘em. No... you had the right answer this afternoon, but the wrong reasons. Bad language is a stage all children go through, and it dies with time when they learn they’re not attracting attention with it. Hotheadedness isn’t.
