Fail




When people say "win" or "fail", I make a point to tell them that speaking in that manner is not a proper way to express yourself or the world around you.

'Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten.'
1984 - Part 1, Chapter 5
