The asterisk is something that I had to use on social media. I used to get warnings from Zukey's bots and a couple of month long exiles. I use 'freaking' a lot so the pearl-clutchers don't get the "vapors".

Thanks for this article!

You have to know the rules before you break them! I’m a sweary person but I have had to learn to shut it down for work (I know, so fucking unfair).

I hate that the predictive text function on my phone wants me to type “ducking” but if I use the mic it transcribes it correctly.

I’ve used the asterisk for work emails, but otherwise no, never. Excellent post!
