It's ironic that they call it "adult language" when you'll actually never use it more than when you're a kid trying to impress your friends.

What pre-teens are they worried about? When my kids were 11, they were swearing as to make a sailor blush!

Re: Re: Re: Gapcohen
"...even The New Yorker - the literary Holy Grail - peppers stories with the f word without having to resort to those annoying *#(*%(#*^%." That's the thing, THEY, the elite decide what's in good taste. Their intentions are noble, pure, and good, therefore, they shouldn't be restricted by the same rules the rest of us with questionable moral judgment have to follow. The censorship don't float.
With Blogit it's especially frustrating, because there's not a lot pre-teens hanging out here needing their innocent eyes protected. They're all on other websites watching their friends beat people up.

I don't know why Bloggit is so Victorian about this - even The New Yorker - the literary Holy Grail - peppers stories with the f word without having to resort to those annoying *#(*%(#*^%.

Re: Azur
Thank you, ha ha, I never know where I'm going to go with something like this. It's always a relief when somebody gets a laugh instead of worrying about whether I'm getting enough oxygen to the brain.
Always glad to hear from you, Azur.

Re: Straightforward
My short answer is, yes, I must. I can't write comfortably unless I'm free and allowed to draw from all resources. Maybe it is a flaw in my writing and presentation, but accept me warts and all or don't, because I express myself in my way, honestly and straightforward. If I censor myself I'm not being true to myself or my reader. Frankly, I'd like to have the option of using the full arsenal of four letter words for bite, excite, and incite effect, but that would get me shipped off to Blogit Siberia in the Mature Audiences section.
I hope you continue to read me despite my foul mouth. It's up to you. Different strokes for different folks.

Re: Gapcohen
Thank you. What I do is spit out incoherent nonsense and sometimes some of it sticks. Even a broken clock is right twice a day kind of thing.

You've well put the extent of adaptation - suggeting that it shouldn't be
so much as to swallow you. But must you use unparliamentary language to do it? Must it necessarily be a part of your expression?

Make the most out of what you're given. Make a life, and make a living.
Wiser words were never zapped/typed/lined on-line.

Re: SEEDLINGS
Aw, you have to get back to an Internet connection ASAP, because we are going to sorely miss you. Sheesh, now I'm all concerned. Your comment sounded so final. Say you're coming back.

WARNING: do not snort coffee while reading this post. Singed nasal hair may result. I'm generally against the practice of snorting coffee anyway.
Thanks for your nice review, but... get help, my friend. It's not too late. Friends don't let friends sniff coffee grounds.

You need a warning for your posts, so I don't snort coffee out of my nose at work.
