I was going through the book and doing spell-check and grammar-check (no need for "bad-ass check" because that's built into my actual brain--which also has its own set of testicles), when I stumbled upon something disturbing:

I use the word "shit" about 400 times in this book!  Even by my brown-collar standards, this is smiply barbaric!  The reason this happens is because the shit word can be substituted for almost anything; objects, ideas, relationships, places, your performance at Guitar Hero, go down the list! 

Other words don't have such power; you wouldn't say, "hey man, pass that fuck this way!" or "that's a bunch of Twat, Mike!" 

...Unless, of course, you were literally staring at a bunch of twat, which admittedly does happen to me a lot, but to the common-folk, not so much.

So anyway, I had to root through the entirety of my text, find all these shits and think of better words to write in their stead.  I love to curse as much as the next baptized catholic, but when done incessantly and with lack of variety, swearing does make you look like a degenerate, ingrate, and possible GED holder.

In a weird way that I am almost loathe to admit, being a "good boy" and civilizing my book a little has made it a lot smarter and more enjoyable to read.

I had to add "skank" to the dictionary to save time.
