    Convincing. Crazy cussing couldn't come cheap. Celestial celery, cold cauliflower, and crowning carp. Commited Celtic Catholics couldn't cremate a cupid.

    Okay, fine, that is getting rather...crazy. But to the point: I despise swearing. Well, I don't mind um well - let's just say the variant of Hades - that is, the opposite of heaven...as an interjection, not so much, it's just very...expressive. But other things, like the S word and the F word, and the P word and, *drum roll* the C word, er, both C words? - Well I can hardly tolerate them. (I don't mind the C.R. C word so much, probably because my friend uses it all the time...)

    I find it terrible to see so many school kids swearing. And my friends! - But it's worse with adults, because, if you think about it, swearing is so...juvenile, it will never help, never diminish your annoyance. I do say "bother" quite vehemently sometimes, and it is a little relieving, I guess, but that's just a little thing. When I was little I was taught to not even say "hate" and "stupid" (due to the vindictive tone sometimes used with these words), and still generally avoid using them.

    I could go on and on on this subject! - but I won't bore you further. Basically, I don't agree with swearing, like, with bad swearing (what swearing is good anyway?!); and I detest (see!) books that use it a lot. It really puts me off. Like "2007" by Robyn Williams. You can't get anywhere without the P word, the F word, oh the A word...so frustrating.

    Anyway. *angelic smile*

    Hmph! You got me there! I don't think I can decode all those words! Should get a Dictionary of Swear Words or something!

    I'm told that swearing is the visible and audible effect of a limited vocabulary........and for the sake of language everywhere....... I pooh-pooh its use.

    Ah, well , I don't think that would be necessary. There's not really much fun in knowing those words...they're usually just vulgar references to - vulgar things, really. Things that certainly usually wouldn't come into normal speech.

    I agree with Baddad; next time I hear someone swearing I'll tell them they've got a limited vocabulary.

    That is exactly what I tell them too... I say 'if I can appreciate English although it is not my first laguage, you should be able to do better than me'...
