I have wanted to ask about this: Why is it ok to write "a$$" but not "ass" or any other %$&/#! combination when everyone knows exactly what is meant and is reading the word aloud in his/her head? Wouldn't it be more honest just to write the word rather than camouflage in such an uncamouflaged way?

To take your point a step further...why is cursing "offensive", but we can replace the F-Bomb with "friggin" and replace that stinky stuff with crap? It means the same thing, we think the same thing....yet, we cover it up.

So silly. . .
