15. It's not the occasional, it's the norm for some folks

And I get many don't care, and it's not even the word "fuck." It's the tone of some people's language as they speak to others, and when people belittle others I just don't get it.

I have many words filtered but sadly it only applies to titles. not the body of the text.
