Dear Bad Writer, Stop Using Profanity as a Crutch

Wonderful. There never used to be anything wrong with a bit of vocabulary, grammar and spelling. But of course it was a perfect excuse for a whole list of brain-dead comments, oh-so-cleverly using the f word or one of its derivatives, as if they were 12 years old and in the playground. Listen to people these days. No adjectives other than “f***ing” or “amazing!” No adverbs at all. Every expression punctuated by “like” and “y’know” at ever-increasing frequency. It is indeed lazy, but it’s also boring. English is rich and becoming more and more impoverished, just because of not bothering with how varied and expressive it can be. It’s sad. (But of course some moron, completely missing the point, is even now thinking of responding to this with the brilliant “Grammar police strike again, fuck off asshole”. Probably someone who is old enough to vote, if you want to despair about the future and society.)
