difference between EUPHEMISM and DOUBLESPEAK???

[loetoe]

Hi!
Can you help me identify the difference between Euphemism and Doublespeak, please!

[mykwyner]

Doublespeak implies an intent to mislead or deceive.

Euphemism implies and attempt to soften something harsh.

Many thanks for your reply!

I know that the difference between them lies in the intention and purposes

of the speaker. However, is it wrong to classify Doublespeak as one

component of Euphemism? Or they two are different categories?

Thanks again!

To me, they're different because their aims are different.
