Easy - "----ing A Bubba!"

Swearing still offers a powerful way to express oneself, when used sparingly.

Re: Why I Will Eventually Unfollow You.

I generally follow those who follow me. But I also cull who I'm following regularly. So my ratio of following to followers peaks near 1:1 and then drops to 1:2 after a cull. I look through the list of people I'm following and check certain people's tweet streams - if it seems uninteresting I unfollow them.

I find your objection to swearing funny. Mainly because I swear all the time. And having spent part of my career as a writer I know the thesaurus won't help on that front.

I'm open to all viewpoints regardless of the person's poor use of language. There are plenty of worse twitterers out there that don't contain any swearing. Of course, if all you're getting is potty language out of someone you are following - drop them. But I'd also drop a person who only tweets passages from The Bible all the time.

Twitter is all about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts (tweets). I couldn't judge anyone on a single tweet (or even 10 tweets).

Thanks for making me think about this.

You've got some typos in your paragraph that starts "I cam across..."

Re: Why a Four-Day Work Week Will Be the Norm

My dentist already does 4-day weeks. And I love it. Because the range of appointment hours available on the working days is larger. I can get a 7am appointment with him. No need to wait for "normal" office hours.
