Random Irritations

trying to watch something and so far i have had to press pause 12 times as Mrs D and our daughters girlfriend keep talking. I might give up and watch it when i'm awake at about 2am
 
Swearing is a habit often used by the uneducated plebs of society. Those who use such vocabulary disgust me.

Kudos to the mod team.

It's proven that swearing is linked to an excellent vocabulary. Whether you can take that a step further and link and enhanced vocabulary to intelligence is debatable, but your suggestion is ridiculous.
 
The BBC. Proving again they fail when it comes to live sports

Biggest event is the world cup ATM

95th min of added time in the Ghana game and they turn it off to carry on over on BBC 1

It's got 3 mins left .. and they showing pre recorded bits for the rugby

That's poor

I believe that you have that slightly wrong, the conclusion of the 2015 (small scale) study was "a voluminous taboo lexicon may better be considered an indicator of healthy verbal abilities rather than a cover for their deficiencies ". So the more swear words you know, the more likely you are to have an overall bigger vocabulary. Repeating the same few words is not an indicator of a larger vocabulary. Now, I'm off to find someone to call them an elbow shaking, fopdoodle who can just sard off.
