Care to explain what double speak is? It's not on Wiktionary and Urban Dictionary doesn't say much. I tried Dictionary.com but that had no entry for it and so it just searched the web for it. That brought up a Wikipedia entry. The Wikipedia entry is a bit wordy. It really needs a dictionary entry. Well if you don't want to explain it that's OK. I think I got the gist of it.

I don't think I've seen double speak on forums, maybe cause I wasn't familliar with the term.

In the Wikipedia entry it's actually done as one word, doublespeak, in line with George Orwell's invented words (he didn't invent this one, it says).

I'll look out for it. Doublespeak on forums, I mean.

"2. Deliberately ambiguous or evasive language. Also called doublespeak."

A close enough approximation of the definition I had in mind.

Sorry for the delayed response, I had other things to attend to.
