Swearwords increasingly used for emphasis and to build social bonds, rather than to insult, say academics

I agree people should exchange formal letters written with a large quill. Each letter should be delivered by a properly trained royal guardsman wearing a pin stripe suit and he should deliver each letter on a penny-farthing bicycle with a smile

If a large quill is not available a small quill will do but premium ink must be used. In the case of a mandingo fight please refrain from calling it as such. When the weather is inclement and no penny-farthing delivery is offered, the sender of the letter must hop on one foot saying compliments to each ugly person they pass on the street

A smile?!??! Well I never! A smile at such an occasion signals a shocking lack of gravitas and must be avoided at all cost! One wonders what second rate boarding school you attended where wanton smiling went unpunished.
