MetaEd also referenced this policy somewhat later on in Censorship of offensive questions a few years prior to his election:. In reality, the decision to censor titles is not open to debate. It is site policy, established by the business which owns the site. And that is perfectly appropriate. It's their site and they can establish whatever policy they think is wise. One of these other places is twitter. Did you know your post was automatically featured on twitter ten minutes after I made the edit?
Your post is going to reach widespread audiences and different people are going to have different opinions on the subject, and it is probably better safe than sorry in that regard. If even a question containing the word tits was once considered questionable enough to be deleted for being offensive, then it stands to reason that damn is also off the menu.
Regarding how I edited the title, and only the title as per the guideline, I followed a practice I observed before of editing out the middle two letters and using filler to fill in the blank. It is relatively difficult to actually find examples because the symbols used, which are usually asterisks do not appear in search results.
Also, please note that not too long ago we were discussing Jesus H. Christ: so objectionable as to be deletable? Peter seems to suggest that he was trying to censor himself, and by using analogy with darn he is suggesting that damn is also worthy of censure. I am having a relatively difficult time finding what I consider to be good reference to what are euphemistically referred to as four letter words.
Damn is certainly among the list. The proposition lacks much contemporary dictionary support for my claim , but they do not even mark fuck as offensive. However it is worth note that there are many euphemisms for the term, including most famously dang and darn. Here is what Wikipedia has to say on the subject of Four Letter Words:. One instance of the phrase I am particularly familiar with can be found on rules of the Caves of Narshe forums , where four letter words are forbidden under section 2 B of its rules.
While their rules are not our own, I feel as if mentioning this provision can help to gauge the acceptability of such words on the web. There is also a book entitled Damn! Swearing, cussing, or cursing, out of anger, excitement, or just because, is something most of us do, at least to some degree.

If you have ever stopped and wondered WTF has happened to our American tongue, don't get out the bar of soap until you finish Damn!
This book also quotes Gone with the Wind's infamous line "Frankly my dear, I just don't give a damn! To be fair though, the word is not one of the words banned by the F. So what seems to have happened is that people became desensitized to it. However it is really quite borderline.
However, to be honest, my prior citation of Merriam-Webster was just an ex-post-facto reference. I acted upon my naturally accquired understanding of the word first.

Ask Question. Asked 4 years, 3 months ago. Active 4 years, 3 months ago. Viewed 2k times. Dan Dan I'd be offended if someone said "damn you" to me, but I don't regard damn as "foul language". Certainly the title of the question did not use "needlessly foul language". I am astonished that the title was edited. Cenzontle Senior Member English, U. Most parents don't want their young children to learn words like "damn", so don't say it in the presence of children. I would need to know the exact context to say if it were acceptable.
So I figured it was safe to use. I said, "Mom, what the hell's for dinner. It was not safe to use. I'm sure "hell" was fine in the New York Times. It was a context difference that made it offensive. Both "damn" and "hell" fall in the same category of "offensiveness" in my opinion.
It really depends on how it is used if it is to be considered offensive. You and your damn kids get the hell out of my house. The parents of those "damn kids" would certainly take offense. But is is only the combination that makes it so. In most cases it would be a damnable excess to reprimand someone for using "damn".

I learned from my English teacher at school, that you should never use any kind of swear words in a foreign language. I too find it strange for someone to say that they came "too damn early today". I wonder what they meant by it.
