I was agreeing with you on cussing not really being a sin" Oh, sorry, Yeah, I agree with myself, too, strongly.
Well I consider it a bad habit that's beneath my upbringing but don't consider it a sin unless you drag God's name into it.

It's lazy, IMO. As a wannabe writer, I think one should be able to express one's feelings with proper words, not cursing. The English language is beautiful, expressive, and powerful. Using foul words and 'orcish' speech defiles it. Tolkien would not approve.

There we go! - Good rules to live by in polite society.
But the men can cuss when hunting in the woods or when hanging out fishing and telling jokes!
