Politics and the English Language

A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions, thus: 1. What am I trying to say? 2. What words will express it? 3. What image or idiom will make it clearer? 4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect? And he will probably ask himself two more: 1. Could I put it more shortly? 2. Have I said anything that is avoidably ugly? But you are not obliged to go to all this trouble. You can shirk it by simply throwing your mind open and letting the ready-made phrases come crowding in. They will construct your sentences for you -- even think your thoughts for you, to a certain extent -- and at need they will perform the important service of partially concealing your meaning even from yourself. It is at this point that the special connection between politics and the debasement of language becomes clear.

Discuss in relation to PROGRAMMING

1. What am I trying to do?
2. What process will accomplish it?
3. What algorithm/data structure will perform the process simply?
4. Is this method practical (in terms of speed, space, etc)?

And the following two questions are basically the same:

1. Could I have written it in fewer lines of code?
2. Could I write it in such a way that it's easier to understand?

1. Whose anus am I trying to hax?
2. What exploits will hax it?
3. What unsecure settings will make it easier?
4. Is this exploit fresh enough to be a zero day?

1. Could I have haxed it using less security holes?
2. Is any of my haxing avoidably detectable?

The Indian mathematical text Surya Prajnapti (c. 3rd–4th century BCE) classifies all numbers into three sets: enumerable, innumerable, and infinite. Each of these was further subdivided into three orders:
