I think you're absolutely right

One of the most annoying things to me is when some uber-religious 
zealot or just someone who doesn't curse or use 4 letter words says 
other words in their palace like "G.D."  for "God dammit" or something 
like that. They're obviously thinking it, but just not saying it, and 
to me, thats just the same.

Personally, I could really care less...
