I really am glad we have a censor here to asterisk out such words.  |
For me, that's an interesting sentiment, because I also think it's good that we asterisk out words on PC... I was one of the ones who said swearing was okay. But honestly, I don't particularly like that I swear. It's almost like my brain defaults to it when I want to express something negative. I kind of wish I had a better option, honestly. Of course, in more formal contexts, I never swear. But when I'm feeling colloquial I always default back to swearing, which also in turn makes me feel like I'm 12 years old again... Ha.
