I've probably been swearing my head off. I have no idea if I am the mystery foul-mouthed one...... but the fact I haven't noticed anyone else's posts causing me any offence is rather damning!
someone tell me where to look for all this swearing. you'Re making me paranoid.....
actually I do use asterisks. I do try to anyway.
if my posts have used too many naughty words. sorry. my OH complains I swear too much. again, I blame my (previous) work environment, in which having hide like a rhino and a capacity for coping with very filthy language is a definite advantage.
anyway, again, if it was me.... S*RRY!!!

Hello, back from a week end away. I started this post so feel I should make a further comment. I am SO used to swearing as OH is a farmer and farm workers are notorious BIG TIME swearers (probably where I picked it up) but what I find unnecessary is swearing in "type". If we, for instance drop something heavy on our toes we are expected to swear loudly, but in "type" when we have time to think about it, surely asterisks avoid offence to those who may be offended. What I find UNNECESSARY is swearing in ordinary conversation. As I said before I am not a prude but I just think it can be left out if typing a message or if it is needed to express a strong opinion then asterisks will suffice.
Wildflowerchild if you swear in type I hadnt noticed !!!!

One of the men I worked with in the past was a notorious F-work user!! If it wasn't every third, then our ears were "lucky" to hear it every fourth word!! He actually wasn't aware of this at all, when we said something about it.... Sorta blushed and apologised..... He was a rather nice fellow, and a very conscientous and serious professional, but that F-word kept cropping up like rising damp......
When I loose my rag.... or drop something on the floor.... or my foot for that matter.... or something angers or upsets me then I can employ colourful language..... but not in everyday normal conversation.... As for bl***y and d*mn, etc., although I do use the *** in the first, because I've seen others here using it, I certainly don't see why it would it necessary for the second.....
Do you think I could get away with d*mn without the *..... like in very angrily "my d*mned bl***y washer/drier died, and I am stuck with piles of dirty and wet laundry..... AAAARGGGHHH!!!!" What do you think????

For a bit of fun why dont we all grade swear words in our opinion, on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the least offensive and 10 the most offensive.
i.e.
d*mn-1
f**k-10
sh*t-8
cr*p-4
a**e-3
c**t-10
b****cks-5 (that one always makes me laugh for some reason)
b***dy-2
b****rd-6

I know somebody suggested that this was a 'witch hunt' on another thread but it is not!!!
Why would it be?????
Apart from any other consideration, some of us have young impressionable children who might one day peep over our shoulders when we're on the forum and see a nasty word that we don't want them to look at!
This is a Woman & Home forum after all!!

I'm all for asterisks anyway.
I get embarrassed reading the naughty words, and films with too much of the 'f' word in I generally turn off.
I'm no prude, however, and I have been known to issue forth some expletives when really roused, but not generally.
It all comes down to the way in which we wish to be perceived, doesn't it ?/

Dear ladies,
I was just typing a PM to somebody and when I pressed the continue button I noticed that the naughty word I used was edited out. If this is the case, then it means no more swearing on the forum as the word is edited out automatically!!!
So as an experiment I am going to use a swear word here to see what happens.
[****]
IT WORKS!!!!!
[****], [****],
But it doesn't work for these words because when I press continue they are not edited out so I had to place the asterisks in the words myself.
P**S, B***Y, A**E, C**T,
I wonder why it works for some words but not for others
Thank you W&H for looking at this. Can you also auto edit the above naughty words and any others you can think of as well please?
