Thanks Barbara. Let me say this. The decision to use the word P*ss is related more to using "socially acceptable language," rather than whether or not to please me. One thing I learned growing up is that some language just is not acceptable in a normal social situation, especially with mixed company. That lesson became a bit harder after my experience with the military. In my Army training, they encouraged us to use four letter words, and sing them in songs, loudly. When I returned to civilian life, I had to remember that I was in "the real world again," and had to remember not to swear. Beyond what I already said, I must say that many people use "4-letter words" because they either lack the intelligence, or can't be bothered to use other words. You can choose which explanation applies to you. Ron
