I'd kinda like to learn how to curse in Finnish. It might liven up
some of my vendor briefings. :)

Question: is profanity something that ought to be localized?
Guys, I'd hate it if JSPWiki source code suddenly became X-rated.
Granted, it would probably be the first software ever where you had
to be 18 just to see the source, and I think notoriety is just an
another kind of fame - not better nor worse - but still, something
in this is sort of telling me that we might just want to consider it
a bit before starting to shovel all the wonderful curse words in our
various languages into SVN.
Not that learning Finnish swearing wouldn't be a great cultural trip
to everyone. Our language is very good for profanity.
