I suspect that Americans, and those under 30, aren't going to understand this reference. As to those both American and under 30, well, they're double double plus unable to understand this reference.

For what it's worth, most Americans under 30 have probably read 1984 in school.

Didn't know that, thank you, many years since I was in school. So has 1984 replaced Catcher in the Rye? That would be a shame, as well as a difficult choice.

You shouldn't have used "ultra plus" in that sentence. In the future, just use "double double plus" as it involves unplus words, and is double plus duckspeak.

Thank you for your correction, I of course agree. Corrected the original.

Yes, because Americans and those under 30 don't read books.

Sorry, I had 1984 on my kindle, but Amazon deleted it.
