I've always wondered why it's ok for us to say "heck" and "shoot" and "darn" around children even though they essentially mean the same thing as "hell" and "shit" and "damn".


We are BOG. Resistance is voltage over current.
Disclaimer:
Occasionally, owing to the deficiency of the English language, I have used he/him/his meaning he or she/him or her/his or her in order to avoid awkwardness of style.
He, him, and his are not intended as exclusively masculine pronouns. They may refer to either sex or to both sexes!
