	Dear A Trendy Tote Bag, research has shown ([http://people.howstuffworks.com/swearing.htm read about it]) that swearing occurs in a different part of the brain from normal speech. So they're not just words. Moreover, as a culture, we have defined several levels of what kind of words are permissible in a given context, ranging from absolutely nothing vulgar on down to stuff that would make a sailor blush. Because this wiki is geared toward documenting a site that itself largely abstains from swearing, we have therefore chosen to do so as well, and thus the word that you (barely) censored would not be appropriate on almost all of the wiki's talk pages. Incidentally, that discussion was over ten months old, so I doubt Gir007 will see your reply. Anyways, talk atcha later. — [[User:It's dot com\|It's dot com]] 03:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)		Dear A Trendy Tote Bag, research has shown ([http://people.howstuffworks.com/swearing.htm read about it]) that swearing occurs in a different part of the brain from normal speech.
