This article is for you mister RUDY!


We all know what "bad words" are. Unlike most other language rules,
we
learn about swearwords and how to use them without any real study or
classroom instruction. Even very young children know which words are
naughty, although they don't always know exactly what those words
mean.


But swearwords aren't quite as simple as they seem. They're
paradoxical -- saying them is taboo in nearly every culture, but
instead of avoiding them as with other taboos, people use them. Most
associate swearing with being angry or frustrated, but people swear
for a number of reasons and in a variety of situations. Swearing also
serves multiple purposes in social interactions. Not only that, your
brain treats swear words differently than it treats other words.

Tony:

As gently as I can:

Step back, take three deep breaths, read the newsgroup postings but don't
reply for a day or five.

I'm a pretty mellow fellow, but you're coming off badly in what you post.
Not killfile badly.
Yet.

Peace and love,
