To ask people to stop swearing so much

user1497264327 · 12/06/2017 11:55

Frankly, the language of some of the posters on this site is disgusting and I wonder if they talk like this in front of their children. I also wonder if their parents would be proud of how they post on the internet. Swearing every time isn't big and it isn't clever. It makes people come across as uneducated chavs.

AIBU to ask people to clean up their act and stop swearing?

ForalltheSaints
Grin Grin at the thought that I've only started swearing since Mrs BB was broadcast.
Some of us have been around, swearing profusely, long before some of the cast of Mrs BB were even born!

Oh please get to fuck and then fuck off some more you can't stop a load of ADULTS on the internet from swearing and how people speak to their kids is none of your business. Get a grip and get a fucking hobby. If you want to ban swearing I suggest you find a different internet forum to use.

I lied.

Ahh minge!! Not heard/used that in a while!

Pannnn · 12/06/2017 22:06

I am ashamed of you all. Such childish easily programmed responses to illustrate all of the OP"s points.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 12/06/2017 22:08

I agree op. We're all going to hell in a cunt cart

Funko · 12/06/2017 22:10

There's a superfluous fucking apostrophe there Pannnn

Wank you very much, and good night

@Pannnn are you the OP just name changing? You two seem to be the only ones with a shared view.

MN is for swearing. Who doesn't know that?

Pannnn · 12/06/2017 22:11

Rogue apostrophe?

PollytheDolly · 12/06/2017 22:11

Ok...

Funko · 12/06/2017 22:13

Nope. Definitely superfluous.
But what would I know with my chav language skills Grin

Pannnn · 12/06/2017 22:15

The apostrophe is grammatically correct. Read and learn.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 12/06/2017 22:15

I believe the correct term is bastard apostrophe

*sniffs

Funko · 12/06/2017 22:17

Lmao.
But you've used two of them anyway!!

PollytheDolly · 12/06/2017 22:20

My ex boss was extremely posh. He really spoke well. Imagine how the royal family talk....

He used to come out with beautiful words, spoken so eloquently. Imagine if you will:

Oh, don't be such a cunt, don't.

Go and take a flying fuck at a rolling donut.

FUCK ME........Slowly.

Oh no... I googled space d###er!!!! Not sure I will be able to sleep now!!!! Yack!

Dawndonnaagain · 12/06/2017 23:04

As Pannn was referring to the point the OP was making, e.g. the one that was hers, the possessive apostrophe was indeed correct.

Dawndonnaagain · 12/06/2017 23:05

Speech marks, however...
