Sometimes, I see people censor swear words [l\*\*e t\*\*s]{title="like this" aria-label="like this, with letters censored out with asterisks"}, presumably to be perceived as family-friendly, non-vulgar, or for other personal reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
I don't get it.
|
||||
You're still using the swear word, so you're being just as vulgar as you were if you didn't censor it.
|
||||
You just come off as hiding in shame, even though you did the thing knowingly.
|
||||
|
||||
It's just lame.
|
||||
You had the choice not to include the swear word, and replace it with something else.
|
||||
It's not a live TV show, where [slip-ups can happen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvXxS4xTKaU).
|
||||
You spend hours perfecting your blog post, working on improving the wording, yet you choose not to come up with any milder words to use as a substitute.
|
||||
|
||||
That's not caring for your readers.
|
||||
That's not being family friendly.\
|
||||
It's laziness and hypocrisy.
|
||||
|
||||
I mean, you can't even follow the very rule you sought to establish---of not using swear words.
|
||||

|

|
||||
The alternative?
|
||||
|
||||
If you need the extra weight, just use the swear word.\
|
||||
If you don't need the extra weight, replace it with something else.
|
||||
|
||||
Swear words _can_ be useful when used in moderation.
|
||||
They carry with them very strong emotions, and their place is in conveying those strong emotions when no other words suffice.
|
||||
|
||||
Personally, I don't exclude swear words from my dictionary precisely for that reason.
|
||||
They're just useful tools to have in communication, in writing, but I use them sparingly, so that they can have the proper contrast and _oomph_ when I do need to use them.
|
||||
|
||||
They become problematic when you use them too often, on impulse.
|
||||
That's when you can come off as an excessive jerk or dumbass.
|
||||
Otherwise, _they're fine_.
|
||||
They're strong, and that's _good_.
|
||||
That's their entire point.
|
||||
|
||||
So don't censor them.
|
||||
Or don't use them at all.
|
||||
|
||||
Have some courage to stand by your principles.
