Power of words...is it not amazing how words affect us? I was just reading some. I won't say where. I don't want to offend anyone, especially considering my own blog highlighting my spiritual views at times. We're each allowed to live our lives and write about our lives however we choose. But I must say I'm not impressed when blog entries are peppered with profanity, especially by someone who's a 'writer' by trade. Don't they know better? What does it add to what they have to say? I was always taught that only truly ignorant writers use profanity...they use it as 'filler' for words they don't know. For shock value. For lack of anything better to say. I guess you can see how much I don't like it. The writer was a 'feature' writer and I didn't want to offend those who chose her, either, but I think a better one could've been chosen.
And with that said, I'll step off my soap box and get on with my day.
3 told me what they're thinking:
I agree. I don´t like it either. And usually don´t read that blog for long, if it´s a regular thing.
agree with you, Kris. Why when there are so many good words out there to us do people resort to using vulgarity? I think that's why the Bible in Proverbs has so many ones on advice about taming the tongue and how words can be so destructive when used wrong
betty
I don't usually like that style and use of language either, but I do think use of profanity in fiction or non-fiction can depict a reality of a language that is used in our culture.
My choice is to usually walk on by :)
