Could we  lay off the sex stereotypes, please?
It just seems like that stereotype is definitely getting reinforced here,
but not by me.

Most of  my female coworkers are more adept at sailorish cursing than the
males  are.


I proudly served in the U.S. Navy, including Desert Shield/Desert Storm  tour
of duty, leaving my four children, ages 2, 4, 5, and 11 at home, and I do
not rely on cursing/slang/vulgarities in my daily communication with others.
Speaking of stereotypes... =)

It IS an interesting subject to be discussed, but we reached the saturation
point about 100 posts ago.

P.S. Remember this comment from a group member? "I love this thread;
profanity is so awesome :)"
