Hey there all,

I really like reading all your comments and reaping the benefits of your insights but...

Could we please keep the language a tad cleaner? In the past week, I've come across several f-bombs and a few a@@-holes. Can we try to clean it up? At the least, if you have to swear, do it in mandarin!

Thanks for considering this!

Capercaillie

I agree.

Wouldn't like it much if JackFirefly (I think he's the youngest here at eleven) started spouting what some of us say in class or passing a teacher.

But I like swearing and telling people off in the most vile fashion. *Sigh* Oh well. I guess no more swearing. BTW, my mother swore so being a mother has nothing to do with it.

With the Imponderables (and the advice I seek from the them) metaphorized, I think the thread would simply explode and spray un-metaphorized profanity and suggestive text all over.

I guess you're right. People here are so mature for the most part - no matter what their age - that I just spoke "casually", like I speak with friends.
No worries, that hwai won't happen again.

Heh, "If you gotta swear, swear in Mandarin!". Now there's something you don't hear every day.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

I'm sorry. I swear when I'm too mad to think straight, otherwise I can remember how to swear in Mandarin. I'll try to keep my head. That way I can, y'know... keep my head.

fei-yu is mandarin, and not even naughty, so I would say it's a-ok. As for verse-speak...I say gorram all the time and no one is takin' it away from me!

Isn't it interesting how much mandarin you know right now? Seriously, we could market "Firefly" as a foreign language correspondence course!

A great big gorram "thanks" to you all!
