Perhaps you should go ask some hispanic immigrants this question. I think they would be intimately aware of the issue.

Since no one can curse like the Scots and the Irish, I predict it would spark a renewed interest in Gaelic.

Status: offline 		See I think it would be interesting because you have to have the Accepted Language, If the law were just to elimate English what then would be the Spoken Language? Would you all be willing to learn a new language just to keep your job?

If so I would want to be a Telemarketer and I think ASL would be the best languagew for us all to speak.

Ah ouais, tu veux parier  ? The Scots are a bunch of pussies who let themselves be invaded (and remain invaded) by the English: says enough about their cursing power  .

Status: offline 		Oh hell, I know a skinny little blonde mutt farm chick that can out curse any other living breathing individual I have ever met, either online or off. Every other word out of her mouth is fuck.

The miracle, she managed to raise a 23 yo son that I have never ever heard anything close to a curse word from his lips.

---Then I pulled the lovely Ninth out of its sleeve, so that Ludwig van was now nagoy too, and I set the needle hissing on to the last movement, which was all bliss. There it was then, the bass strings like govoreeting away from under my bed at the rest of the orchestra, and then the male human goloss coming in and telling them all to be joyful, and then the lovely blissful tune all about Joy being a glorious spark of heaven, and then I felt the old tigers leap in me and then I leapt on these two young ptitsas. This time they thought nothing fun and stopped creeching with high mirth, and had to submit to the strange and weird desires of Alexander the Large which, what with the Ninth and the hypo jab, were choodnessny and zammechat and very demanding, O my brothers.--

....Like butter wouldn't f*****g melt, add a cockney accent in rant and one has the superlative curse.

I'd probably have no problem doing that but before the Guinness seisiún.
