Recently someone I love told me that my language is "the most vulgar language you could imagine".
Why did I use asterisks instead of the rest of the obvious word? Why do we swear, what does it mean to swear? How has swearing changed? Is there a reason not to swear, and conversely, reasons to swear?
Goddam if Stephen Pinker hasn't written a fucking good essay on the subject.
