Does anyone else think that our beautiful language is defiled.
Recently I had a post from someone who said ffs, I discovered that it is a foul language abbreviation.
Our beautiful language has so many lovely adjectives that can be used to describe and situation without resorting to foul expletives.
I have only studied English to A level standard, my biggest regret is not to have gone on to degree level, however I love words and play on words.
I really think that people who use such language cant have much education. I find this happens every day, I hear kids in the streets shouting the F word, its on TV and films. Overuse of the F word has not made it less effective. I even hear parents using it in front of children.
The F word is supposed to describe an act of love so why does it have to be used as an insult. The B word is an adjective to describe someones parentage, why does that too have to be used as a swear word.
While I agree that everyone has the freedom to choose their behaviour, how has our society resorted to such lack of respect that people use such words to others. Any ideas.
. I've only used it once on GN for emphasis, with an ing attached. I rarely use it, yet occasionally it is a perfect-storm word.
janea Quite!
