Swering Vs. concequences

[Athenian]

Stephen Pinker's new book "The Stuff of Thought" is worth getting just for the chapter on "swearing" alone.

Personally I don't see the necessity for typing swear words. You should hear what I say to the lot of you while I'm typing words like "fiddlesticks", "by Jove", "bloody", "blimey" when Sir Roger is about.

Strangely enough "goddamn" is a serious swear word on the American side of the Atlantic, whereas its not so much here.(in my house)

My advice: Judge Dredd type swears: "drokking" "by strom" or my old fav, Asterix....." You &$%* " and shout away at the screen. Just remember to turn teamspeak off.
