As long as "fuck" is not used to insult the reader of the message, nor used to
shock the reader on purpose, I don't see where the problem is...
Or maybe you just hope that by removing the word "fuck" from everywhere the
youngest one will never understand what "fuck" means, or will understand only
when it is legal for them to understand the word? :)
I consider "f---" as offensive than "fuck". Not because of the meaning of the
word. It's because of the censorship applied on it. It is much more subversive
and damaging than the real meaning of the word.
