I‘m sorry, but if I have to read another book (novel) with the “f-word” in it there will be no books I want or wish to read!
The English language is so rich in slang, expletives and profanity and yet if you read any modern book it appears there is but one expletive known to the Englishman.
Don’t, please, trot out the claptrap that you are mirroring life, that is so much garbage. In fact I will put forward the notion that you, the current slew of authors, are actually the cause of the limited foul language heard on the street.
I will also suggest that if your language is so limited please check the Oxford Dictionary of Slang, a book I found in our school library a good few decades ago; it will increase your vocabulary and, hopefully, make your writings less boring to us poor sods who are forced to read your drivel.
Here's wishing you a truly f*****g wonderful day.
Harry Strachan.
