I know I'm just an old-fashioned fart (does that count as a swearword?) but I must say that the constant use of the F-word that pervades conversation and the written word in the UK these days shocks me. When I left the UK, 35 years ago, it was considered an extremely offensive word and was definitely not used by educated people and absolutely not by women. I really don't see the need to ever use it in postings on these boards. In what way does it add to the message? Personally, I DO think a certain amount of censorship would improve the quality of the forum. Sorry if this sounds a bit puritanical – I'm not religious or anything, just don't like to see the English language being debased. Rant over. :sofa:
