Since Newspeak words might be used in Oldspeak as well, the following search
results are likely to contain false positives, but nevertheless:
search term Google results
crimethink about 1040
doubleplus about 1280
doublethink about 15900
ingsoc about 4270
newspeak about 39100
oldspeak about 1030
prolefeed about 2280
Many (most?) of those results reference documents not part of the novel.
As language tagging is an intrinsically Good Thing, the need for tagging is
probably self-evident. Would this document be a web page instead of an email
message, I would have used '<span lang="x-en-newspeak">' nine times already.
