All ways to avoid taking the Lord's name in vain. Amen. It's the one proscription I have on my language.

Being of impure language myself ;D, I was not recommending the words. I just found it interesting that many Christians didn't seem to know that Gee and Gosh are...alterations of "Jesus" and "God", which came into the vernacular as a way of saying those names without actually saying them.
In other words, the very thing they are criticizing Orthodox Jews for doing in written form.
It's the "glass house" principle.
