[...] “Profanity blogs” – I didn’t realize such a blogging niche existed. Where they ended up: Could MomGrind Use a Little Profanity? [...]

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”.

The majority of out there in the blogsphere is filled with expletives, so it's refreshing to read MomGrind, which is free of cliches and irreverantly articulate. Bonnie Peachy Baby's last blog post..When Following the Rules Has Gone Too Far

@ Amanda: “It’s just not me” – agree. You should be you on your blog.

@ “Sometimes the curse words are more effective than milder words. And I am no way offended by cursing in other people’s blogs” – I 100% agree with both of these statements.

@ Hyrcan: “Momgrind RAW!” – I like that.

hmm… mine is at 5.2% Probably all be cause the post before last…

Perhaps you could find someone that could write a plugin that adds curses and provide a link to Momgrind RAW! (potty mouth edition) ;D

Write how you like, read what you like. They don’t have to match, I occasionally drop the “F-bomb” but that doesn’t mean I expect everyone else to. Would be pretty boring if everyone wrote like me. And I’m pretty sure it would kill the blog and book industry… and possibly drive anyone with any grammar skills to completely lose their mind.

And lets not talk about spelling… o.0
