So, what’s the verdict on the occasional swear word in essays? Is it a contstant non-no rule, or can it be broken if you do it right? I write exactly what I think, and I don’t really censor myself. Can swear words be used, if done well?

Like, I was thinking the line “I like abnormality because it lets me ignore ****.”

What do you think?
