Bowdlerisation shits me to tears

Ya shouldn't fuckin' swear online anyway, it's fuckin' gross....

Having said that, I have to watch which forum I am on...if I ever get into the SV forum. I have been known to forget that it is a Yank site and they don't approve of colourful language....with fairly interesting results....albeit predictable.

I am with Hitcher on this, no matter what fancy name he uses for it. If you want to cuss, now there is a word I heard alot in my youth ( I once got a full bar of soap rammed in and out of my mouth for telling my brother to "shut up" with the accompanying dont you use cuss words tirade), cuss!

Dont replace letters with symbols, pathetic. I will from time to time moderate my language by using words like "friggen" but am just at home with using fucking if I feel like it.

I wish I had been here for the forum choice you more mature members are talking about, that would have been very good fun

Well I'll be hornswoggled ... tie me to a raft and feed me rotten kippers till the maggots boil out of my grotty intestines!

I'll cuss when I ferk'n feel like it and no frikk'n merk'n can stop me from doing it as deems fit! One does need to stand their ground to strike a dolorous blow to the unmitigated bastiches that was propelled from the dripping nether regions of their agglomeration of misfitted DNA!

Time to twenty-one skiddido!

I had a really full blown case of Tourette's when I was young...less spectacular now but still lurks underneath...you never quite lose those internal rhythms...

A little bit like pr0n, perhaps.

I'm sorry, I don't like using swear words in text, it looks gross. I'm not so precious as to not cope with others swearing in text, don't mind using the word arse though. But that's my personal limit!

Twit

Its dont out of respect from others , this here internet, is a large and powerful force

while 99 % are ok with the odd expletive. There maybe one or two who aren't

Covers all basis

Stephen a proud Bowdlerator !

Guilty I'm afraid. Well not so much with the letters substituted by symbols but Farkin, Fuggin,Freekin, Coont, etc, are used by me in an attempt to convey an impression that I am chatting to the reader and not writing for the reader in the form of a text book or formal letter.

As a reserved English Gentleman, I reserve the right to alter the harshness of expletives for the benefit of those that don't wish to see or read them in every post and as the afore mentioned, Reserved English gentleman,This is also how I actually speak in polite company, when wishing to impart that my emotional level, in regards to a certain topical subject, is running a tad higher than would be the case with a simple conversational contribution.

Whilst no stranger to them,the full and correct version of these words are only used by me as an emphasis to a point I wish to make, to, or about, something or someone. e.g. Get off my fucking barstool you cunt or I will twat your nose so far back in your skull you'll be able to smell what you had for dinner. Or will you just Fuck off you utter utter cunt fest.

Further more, whilst I endeavour to use the best English Grammar, spelling and punctuation that my education and memory will allow, I will invent, alter or amend words to suit, again, in an effort to convey that there is a person behind my keyboard and not an English graduate writing a thesis on how best to display one's superior education and or grasp of the English Language on a public forum, for the sole purpose of belittling other users.

We are not diametrically opposed in the level of frustration we endure when confronted with a badly written and poorly punctuated post but, unlike you, I have always favoured content over form and some hugely educational and or amusing musings could be missed, were I to stand in self righteous, pompous, judgement at the liberties taken with the English language, by design or by ignorance.

Yours faithfully, Martybabe O'sutton P.H.D. B.A. M.D. Speaker of the common man's English And utter freekin, bottom dwelling, Arsehole. x
