Wrong choice of words; I don’t think you must use such language to express your frustration.
I agree with you Yahoo mail service is bad I switched service a while ago and will stay far from it as long as possible.
- blader 18y agoIt's just a fucking word.
- AndyKelley 18y agoI thought it was humorous. Sometimes you have to express your raw feelings with crude words :)

- mattmaroon 18y agoIf I could upmod you 10x, I would sir. Must be a lot of O'Reilly fans here.
- lolb 18y ago"Such" language? How do you mean? Is the particular F U C K constellation of letters somehow objectively worse than, say, F U D G E or F R E A K? He made a "wrong choice"? You understood his point, yes? He got it across efficiently, yes? Seems to me he expressed himself perfectly fluently.
- sofal 18y agoWords aren't just "constellations" of letters. This is a silly idea. Not only is it a poor excuse for using profanity, but it also takes the power out of taboo words. greendestiny explained it well here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=188634 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=188634
- michaelr 18y agoWhat is the right choice? Please write out your equivalent of "Yahoo Mail fucking sucks" and we'll see if it conveys the same emotion and frustration in a similarly pointed fashion.
- xenoterracide 18y agoI believe the answer to this choice of words comes from pg's essay on what we tell kids. It's inappropriate. Especially as a headline.
