I'm not sure where I stand on this one. I say fuck pretty constantly, but I don't write it all that often. I think it has its place though, and it doesn't bother me when others use it.

What does bother me is when I see it written on clothing or bumper stickers or anything else public like that. Sure, you have a right to say what you want however you want. But that doesn't mean you should be so fucking gauche about it.

Probably I'm splitting hairs. Is an article that different from a bumper sticker? I don't know.

Of course, you could just pretend you're saying 'seal' in French. Not a swearword at all.
