I'm going to veer even more wildly off-topic:
Why, to be polite, to we put asterisks in the middle of swear-words,
to make them more palatable to sensitive readers?
Everyone knows the person quoted meant "fuck". That's the word that
went through the minds of every single person who read the post. If
"fuck" is crude slang for sexual intercourse, and "f**k" is merely
another representation of that same word, who exactly is being spared
here?
I don't mean to direct this question at you, David, but it's something
that I've always wondered about. I mean I don't get this sh*t! <g>
Seriously.
cheers,
frank, being a bit of an a**hole
