I never use expletives when I write.
I can’t see the point.
If you can’t make your idea / opinion known / clear without having to resort to the use of expletives, then I would have to question your abilities as a writer.
Twenty Major‘s use of the expletive is interesting, as he does it in a particular manner. The first couple of times I read him I was offended on certain levels, but now I’m not.
However other bloggers make use of expletives when they don’t need to.
Mulley, for example, has quite a good rant today about online advertising. Whether I agree with his opinion or not (I don’t) I would have considered his piece to be well written except for the use of expletives. It’s not as if he can’t express himself without using them, so why does he?
Personally it makes no sense to me.
Don’t people care about language any more?
