For most volks, maybe "damn" isn't so bad. Understood. I missed the
original post.  Yet I support, in general, a desire to reach a higher
plane: i.e. concise language and efforts at using the skilled and
fine use of language as an international tool of communication and
civility.  And that excludes some language that is banal from the list.

It is still Frydaye in my parts.
