Hi, Penni, Perhaps we should post some of this discussion on the Grammar thread, to generate light rather than heat. One of the points I was trying to make is that,in most cases, BLANK is NOT a "swear word." What's the difference, for example, between "I screwed up" and "I BLANKED up"? Many proper people have no problem with the first expression, but object to the second. Yet both the verbs involved originally had the same connotation. BLANK is in the process of becoming domesticated, in other words. And it's time for the good doobies to recognize that. jbe
