And always avoid alliteration as adults are always appalled. Great reading! And as for politics now we have "collateral damage" "alternative facts" and "fake news"...
This man lived somewhere around 2020 and then went back in time to preface that to come. In literally hundreds of ways, it seems his moral was to try and help us today; if we would read and contemplate prophesy (..or first hand knowledge..? Riddlez...)
I think that in a lot of circumstances rudimentary, common or "every-day" words will suffice to get the meaning across, but it is not always the case. In some cases latin, greek or scientific words are simply the best ways of conveying meaning in the intended way.
I'm sorry but 'mutatis mutandis' is extremely useful in philosophical writing. You could maybe say "all other things being equal" together with "with relevant changes made" or something along those lines, but having a profound literature that used mutatis mutandis for saying exactly that, it seems we have no reason to throw this formulation in the trash. When we think up thought experiments and examples to illustrate points it is very helpful to be able to say that this or that, mutatis mutandis, generalizes to this and that or can be translated into this and that.

If only Brother George Orwell could return from the dead and address the next General Conference!
Lol are you also exmormon? Because after listening to this I really want to pull out some general conference talks and go analyze their language 😂
Now I know why political speeches hurt my ears.
Another great post.

The more things change. the more they stay the same. Jean-Baptiste's words still ring true 170 years on.

Thanks, mutatis mutandis was actually a phrase I had been meaning to look up
I didn't know that Orwell wrote in American English. 😂😂😂😂
23:11 Very presidential
Great. Now do Chinese.
(hint: mao changed the language)
The examples were egregious... but another grammar Nazi. Anyone calling back to Latin as a basis of rules sets, needs to let it go lol
