I have a reasonable vocabulary, why do I almost always resort to expletives as emphatics, other than habit? I despise habits. I pride myself on being able to start, or stop, doing something easily, but cussin’ seems to be my bete noire.

The awful thing is that I can sometimes see people react quite badly to my language but they are all too polite (or too scared) to pull me up on it. Gotta fix this – bored now…
