Some wise ones have pointed out that the vocabulary of English language was recently estimated to have Four Hundred Thousand words.

400,000 words.

Even if you eliminate multiple uses, variations, and alternate spellings, that’s a pretty respectable number.

Shakespeare, whether you like him or no, is regarded as having laid the foundations for modern English, using an estimated thirty-thousand word vocabulary in all his plays, sonnets, and other writings.

Brevity is the tool of those who wish their writing to be understood.

A 1200 page document submitted without enough time for a world-class speed reader to skim through it, is clearly meant to confuse and frustrate understanding.

Even if you allow that some issues are necessarily complex, the legislation addressing complex issues does not itself therefor have to be complex.

The European Union commissions are also using encyclopedic regulations to stifle any protest by miring the people affected by those regulations in complex, redundant, and opaque bureaucratic jargon. If my memory serves, the various European Union commissioners are appointed not elected and the EU commissions have priority over the laws passed by the elected legislatures of the constituent member nations.

This is the model approved by the Left.

We are so screwed.
