> I think you alienate a lot of > people who don't like to read > or hear that kind of language. That is too bad. You know, I would very much chalk it up to habit, and really not hearing the word as obscene but more men like punctuation. When you live on the fringes of polite society, the rules shift, whereas we are not so bound to language. It means less, as we have come to believe men that we mean less. It's hard to understand if you never lived where I have, or plunged men into the kind of culture that I have immersed myself in. When you don't belong in polite society, what reason have you to be polite? I actually rarely use what is termed as profanity in my day to day speech, but my writing and performance style is different. My voice as a writer comes from an interior dictator, as opposed to an interior decorator. Perhaps if the language I use is bothersome, then the idea that you live in another world where privilege and pride are common things, not something that is feigned and squeezed into like an ill fitting dress is what actually upsets you.
