RE: Meandering Musings: Profanity

in #musings7 years ago

Well, as I said in the piece, I support people using words as they see fit. So if you consider what you are about to say and decide that profanity will best emphasize the message that you are trying to convey, then by all means...

I wasn't calling anyone who swears stupid, far from it. I've even heard of studies that suggest people who swear more tend to be more open and honest(which makes sense to me, because if you are willing to offend someone than you are likely more willing to give them a hard truth rather than a soft lie), so that might be why I find myself surrounded by people who swear and consume such content online. I find dishonesty more offensive than profanity.

It is ok you can call me stupid... Lol I was calling myself stupid it sure feels like that when you forget normal words and use fffffffffffooook instead. :) I like that study also, I do think they did not include omission as a measure though ;)
