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...

Okay, I have to chime in now... I mean, criminy! "****"?? It's just a
word. You can say it; it's okay. Hey, you can even *spell* it: F - U - C
- K. Along with all the other "four-letter" or "bad" words.

I have never understood this cultural peculiarity that certain words are
somehow bad. We can't say fuck over here, but across the pond and south
of the border it's perfectly acceptable; and across the pond they're not
allowed to say bloody, yet Americans think it's a perfect British accent
to say bloody this and bloody that...

They're just words; get over it.
