This is a great discussion, and something that I’ve struggled with since I started blogging. Well, I obviously haven’t struggled too hard, since I scored 99%. And my blog is about antiques. I think that swear words, when used at the right time, can bring humorous emphasis to an otherwise boring topic.

@ Mark: “There are many ways to express yourself strongly without cursing” – very true.

Perhaps I’m old fashioned, but when people use profanity I usually see it as a cheap out. There are many ways to express yourself strongly without cursing. It usually seems like a lazy way to get around the creativity of actually writing.

@ magpie: interesting… I guess it’s not foolproof!

My own level is now at LOW, 1.4% which is a slight improvement over the 0% I had when I originally published this. No thanks to me though, but a few of my commenters generously helped.

Huh. According the the Cuss-O-Meter, my site is overrun with profanity – to the tune of 76.9%. I find that spurious – I may curse like a sailor in person, but I don’t in “print”.
