ROT!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!! I WASN'T OUT OF
LINE!!!!!!! BWEEEEEEHEEE!!!! <SLAP> Erg. Sorry. So there, it's been proven
that there IS swearing in the manga. Grr... now to track down those people
down. 
        No but seriously this IS an interesting peice of trivia. Now I
wonder why in the translated versions these come out so very tame. 

It's called taste.  A rare swear word in a choice situation is not that 
bad.  What was in the first copy of Facades that you mailed out was a lot 
more than that.

Swear words are a vulgarity, pure and simple.  Thusly, their use should 
be carefully watched when writing a 'fic.  Put too many in, or use them 
inappropriately, and your fic comes out like "a tale told by an idiot, 
full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" (I know I've used the quote 
before, but it seemed appropriate).  When the words distract from the 
story, rather than compliment it, the words have gone too far.
