    Многовато у нас бранных корней в лексике.

    А мне печально, что учат великий и могучий, учат, а применение находят для бранных корней. Как будто других мало

    I am the son of a military father who never ever used бранные корни -- at least not in my hearing, even after I was a grown man! -- but I am also a любитель-филолог who takes great interest in learning about the word-histories of "f--k" and "п----ц", and I consider the "cussing" of R. Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket to be great art!

    But I also appreciate gentle and poetic language, and would suggest that мат in Russian or in English should be treated as a strong flavoring like nuoc mam or habanero peppers -- they add great interest to the dish, but too much will ruin it.
