waters" or "Achilles' heel," are old and no longer hold power in the English language. He feels these phrases are still used because it saves them from having to come up with their own metaphors even if they don't know what the phrase means, such as "grist to the mill." If a person uses a dying metaphor they don't understand and incorrectly use the phrase, Orwell feels that this shows that the writer is not interested in what he is saying. This lack of interest in our own language is seen as a problem
