I agree, Alex.
I did the survey, and after my answers I left her with these additional thoughts: I think this may be presumptious
"Better a pound of sugar than twenty pounds of shit". I put "1 - mild" for this one, even though it is a word that only describes something specific and would not be considered offensive at all to me in this context. I think you should have a choice of answers that is " "0.5 indifferent", and many of my "1-mild" and many of my "0 cannot specify" answers would then be "0.5 indifferent". "Goddamn" is a word that I just don't hear much, at all. I know it is offensive to some which is why I call it "mild" but it has no specific meaning to me, and after a while just becomes gratuitous... almost a chant-like part of the language. Most slang is like that for me. Just another part of the language. Thanks for an interesting read."
