Emma: Minor bruising (except for my ego...but that's a different story)... just a bit sore with a 3-4 inch bruise on my inner left arm (by the elbow), sore arms (don't know why they just are), a few cuts on the finger I used to wear a ring on (the part that held the stone got messed up and won't hold the stone anymore)...but nothing serious.
Sucked that the shoe I was wearing decided to split from itself, but *shrug* oh well. *hugs Emma*

what good are asterisks or other symbols in place of a few select letters in "swear" words? are the words really that cleverly obscured that no one who's below the age of 16 would be able to tell what they are? i mean, is it really better, or more wholesome, or more "child-safe" to read that asterisk-filled type than the actual word? after all, you're still thinking the same thing (or saying it, for those who can't read without moving their lips). or do people really think (say) to themselves "deh-star-oochec-star-cks"? or does the use of these symbols alleviate some sort of guilt people feel for thinking and typing such horrible naughty things?

I've got no answer for most, but for me, sometimes it's to show how truly incoherently upset/angry I am. I mean, I could say something like "with everything that's been going on lately, I feel like a goddamnasslickingdouchebagcuntsuckingmotherfuckingloser" but "I feel like I'm a !@#$%^)_(*&^%#$%=" allows people to get the idea...and some of adults (sometimes I fall under this) are prudes. Then again, I'd also switch to "I feel like a gorramn kawaisoobakamono goutsaodetchenwah..." to describe it also. (Plus, I've got to demonstrate *ahem* "proper" behavior around the lovelies...so yeah, I've got to be a verbal prude at times.)

Well I'm not a computer expert (ha! the very idea!) but I have been told that those of us with puritanical and tyrannical jobs have software that scans e-mails (and possibly web sites?) for 'bad' words. Presumably computers get confused by such obvious ploys. That's why I usually write cr@p to my friends (Hmm, that's probably true in more than the literal sense).

Of course I still get in trouble because as an Animal Care teacher I still have to look at a lot of sites involving the words pen1s etc. I keep trying to explain that this is not animal porn but again, computers = stupid!

I know there are computer experts here. Is all of the above worthwhile or an urban myth about Big Brother surveillance computer software?

To a large part you are correct Emma, the company I work for scans emails, which causes problems as we make healthcare packaging/labels/leaflets and there are various words that are on spam lists that we have legitimate use for, which we're forever having to release etc. Computer are not intelligent, they are fast. They can process large amounts of rules but can't make intuitive decisions so essentially you can setup logic systems but you can't ask them to deal with context in the same way a human brain can.

As for HK's point, I fell into the habit on forums kind of to indicate that I don't want to offend anyone. In RL obviously, you can pick up body language etc to get a hint as to whether you are mortally offending someone and whilst I grew up in household that swore freely, I don't like offending people so do tend to modify my language depending on who I am around.

Anyway, drinks for all who wants them, sadly I have got work to do so catch you in a bit.

this is still confusing to me. whether you write "f**k", "f***", "f*ck", or "fuck", it's still meant to be the same word, you're still thinking the same word, and people are still reading the same word, so how is that any less offensive? this is the thing i don't understand. it's like people are under some delusion that the * in place of a few letters makes the word harmless and inoffensive...??

I've been nagging my student to hand back in work that wasn't at pass standard - with plenty of dire threats. Just had two hand in with just one word changed. Do they really think this is going to appease my wrath? It just makes me more angry!

I don't disagree with you HK, we are odd and it's just one of those weird social things you fall into, it's like different swear words being worse in different countries depending on local culture.

As for teenagers, gah, just no sense of consequences but sadly that holds for most humans. I recommend a nice sturdy five iron should you require a destructo-caddie's advice on the correct implement for dealing with troublesome teenagers.

I believe that communicating on boards, as opposed to face-to-face has a lot to do with how we 'swear' here. Due to my history I have been known to truly shock people with my "bad" language. In person, I would just smile and mostly the 'shock/offense' look would fade from their eyes (and if it didn't fuck 'em - assholes). ANYWAY I think THAT (and filter-y work-type computer programs) is why all the ** or __ in some of my most favorite and often used words. Even as we get to 'know' one another online most Hoomans still need the 'facial' expressions and other body language stuff to TRULY understand what's 'meant.'
