Clearing things up...

Words mean things. As a Christian I think we can express our dislike for things without using curse words. I don't use them, I don't like to hear them and I don't like reading them.

I have had authors PM and ask me about curse words that I've caught in their books. I generally give three strikes and your out. I generally let the first two curse words in the book slid without saying anything about it in my review. However, if there are three or more I will let my readers know. If it is too bad, I will quit reading the book. I have had two books that I know of in my 2+ years of reviewing books that I haven't gotten too far into the book because of all the curse words. sorry this is just my view. I don't need to fill my mind with this.

So I'm going to put my position on words that I consider as curse words here in this post. If I find them in a book I'll put a link to this post up.

Here are words I consider curse words because they are used when someone is upset or angry.

• darn
• damn
• dang
• heck
• any words taking my Lord and Saviors name in vain
• gosh
• golly
• geesh
• gee
• crap
• shit
  
• anything vulgar I won't even put it in print these are just the mild words I won't print the hard ones (or the ones I think are hard) I'm sure you get the jest
  

These are a few. I'll add to this list as I read words and come across them.

Thanks for your understanding.
