How many of you have seen the movie "The Great Liebowski"? The old cowpoke, sittin' at the bowling alley bar, asks the Dude: "Dude, is it necessary to use so many cuss words?" [or some such thing] The Dude replies: "What the fuck you talkin about, man?" I suspect that most of the time that the people who overuse it aren't even aware of doing so. My wife swears more than I do, and unfortunately she did a lot of that when our kids were younger, so now the lads use these words too much as well. Happily, wife has cleaned up her act, but now of course I have to work on the kids.... Doug
