Euphemistic language
Many of us do not realize that they itself using euphemistic language .Generally, euphemistic language is a way to express feeling. It is the same with the honest and direct language but the different is the ways to express it. Honest and direct language tell readers directly what he or she wants to say while euphemistic language do not tells reader directly instead using proper words because for them the honest and direct language is a bit harsh and can easily hurt others. At class, we saw a video clip about euphemism by late George Carlin. He said that the victim of rape is an unwilling receiver of sperm. It sounds funny.
From my opinion, each of the language have its own advantages and disadvantages. It is on us when and how to use it.
