I am of the belief that for a lot of literature, certain kinds of talking are okay if they are true to the character saying them, and the reader will notice if you're sugarcoating someone's speech. So if you write about a fisherman, you're going to have some bad language in your story, or you're going to have to get around it somehow by using a lot of phrases like "he cursed." Course, the word you're talking about WASN'T a curse then... I hope that there will still be copies of the true manuscript for sale, and if not then I intend to buy myself a copy while I still can. <br /><br />/End rant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
