If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
I abhor the f—- word I hear bandied around so casually. It grates on my ears like fingernails on a chalkboard. I was in a restaurant for lunch yesterday when a man at a nearby table dropped the f-bomb for the edification of all in hearing range. Charming!
I totally agree with you

I declare myself guilty that at times it leaves my lips reflexively. But usually only when at home.

I totally agree with you. So much choice in the English language and yet people use this obscenity all the time.
