> I'm not offended at the presence of the F-bomb, I'm offended that someone with his talent takes the easy way out. This is silly. It's like arguing "I have no problem with X, but ..." followed by things that you would never say if you in fact had no problem with X. If the author had never been acculturated/trained to think that swearing was wrong, he wouldn't have written this post. I.e. where are the blog posts on how you should think twice about using the word "goldfish" in a presentation? There aren't any because people really, truly, have no problem with the word "goldfish", unlike the word "fuck". EDIT> If you want to argue against swearing in presentations, then do so. Don't pretend that you have no problem with swearing -- it just makes you look dishonest. EDIT2> "acculturated" doesn't mean what I thought it meant. Substitute "trained"
