Exactly, it is.
Also disrespectful and immature.
There isn’t anything disrespectful or immature about letting out a sequence of sounds that someone’s mind doesn’t think too highly off. I could name several words that you might use that would be curses here, where I live, does that make you disrespectful and immature?
Also, some of you people might want to see this: Penn & Teller on Profanity
Aside from those two, there are other people who made great things about profanity, but I can’t remember their names right now, so can’t exactly link their content here.
Oh yeah, before I forget – that link contains “excessive swearing”, as if fitting for a video about profanity.
And those types of things are funny because they are abrupt and many times immature.
It is still mostly used in our culture as a crutch for proper vocabulary. It still has no place on these forums, or in most work places. It is still preferable to see kittens on these boards instead of that type of language.
I’m just not a blathering idiot, and prefer to communicate intelligibly.
Why good sir! You’re causing a rise in my adrenaline levels and my blood to boil when you speak of this “cursing” as if it where a strictly non-intelligent thing to indulge in!
Exactly, it is.
Also disrespectful and immature.
It’s amazing how many times I see the word “kitten” appear, even in thread titles. “Your rewards are kitten.” Really?
It’s not like people are using curse words to express an actual viable rage. They’re doing it because it has become ingrained in our culture curse out of habit. If someone stubbed their toe and then typed “KITTEN that hurt!” I could understand it (though it’d be odd to type it out lol). That’s not what we see.
Though you quoted me, I said nothing about people using curse words to express rage or anything of the sort. If there is a situation where I can understand a curse word, it is in a moment of rage or surprise.
I said people typing forums posts use curse words in lieu of actual language. I agree, it is a cultural degradation and simplification and retardation of language. I prefer kittens in this situation over potty references and bigotry.
No, I’m not an language major or anything of the sort, I’m a computer nerd who works in a tech support job. I’m just not a blathering idiot, and prefer to communicate intelligibly.
“I’m saying that people that are perverted enough to take offence at sequences of sounds shouldn’t be catered for. Yet we see the opposite all over and that’s perverting the perversion even more – teaching people to shun what they shouldn’t be bothered by.
Using euphemisms isn’t cleaning up speech, it’s just temporarily hiding the truth from the shortsighted.”
No, Just No.
People should be mature and literate enough to express themselves without causing others offense. If someone was saying something offensive, I’d much rather read about kittens than about their immaturity and lack of verbal flexibility.
It has nothing to do with me being shortsighted, it’s about being respectful of others. It is in no way perverting anything other than your liberal sensitivities.
Besides, kitten is a great way to show the truth – the truth that people are illiterate jerks on the forums most of the time. Quit excusing their idiocy.
Yet they also said that gear wouldn’t matter, that this wasn’t a gear treadmill.
They said there wouldn’t be a gear treadmill required in order to participate in content.
CONTEXT MATTERS
You wouldn’t have to grind gear in order to PvP – check.
You wouldn’t have to grind gear in order to run dungeons – check. Easily obtained gear enables this.
There ARE GRINDS in the game, but for only fluff and appearance.
QUIT MIXING AND MATCHING diverse statements in order to appease your entitlements.
Or buy a set of level 76 exotic gear for maybe 2g total. Much better than 80 greens, it will last until you ‘grind’ your life away.
I would guess from context, that you put in a glob, a coin, and 2 of the others to create the boxes.
