Perhaps we here on the forum could take a lesson or two from this with our use of "swear word alternatives" :)
Dear Employees:
It has been brought to management's attention that some individuals throughout the company have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with their co-workers. Due to complaints received from some employees who may be easily offended, this type of language will no longer be tolerated. We do, however, realize the critical importance of being able to accurately express your feelings when communicating with co-workers.
Therefore, a list of eighteen new and innovative "Try Saying" phrases have been provided so that proper exchange of ideas and information can continue in an effective manner.
