You know, the f*ck word isn't nearly as profane in non-US countries, for the most part... Think of it as internationalization!
F*ck yeah!!!

You'll probably not like the fact that the offending word usage has increased in 2.3.x.
[root@djk-dev src]# rgrep -r -i fuck linux-2.2.12/* | wc -l 30 [root@djk-dev src]# rgrep -r -i fuck linux-2.3.19/* | wc -l 31
So by the same reasoning, are you going to stop reading the source code too?
Though I do agree that profanity-free documentation is probably a good thing to have. Would Microsoft (Or any other OS vendor) issue documentation to the effect of
"Click the icon in f*cking control panel"..?

Dave.
