is true nearly everywhere and besides the fact that in my neighborhood
nobody has a problem with really clean words, not in the job as well
as private i prefer also *really* clear words

everywhere, anytime and in any context

that's what i call "honesty" and it's more worth than find politic
words which can be interpreted as whoever like it and it's nowhere
a problem except on mailing-lists after you found a neighborhood
which lives that way

well, i am really sorry for anybody which needs to live and work
where this is not a absolute normal thing and instead some bad
and unpolite words are always taken personally
