There was this really funny posting on my friend, Niki’s blog about how a HR department received too much complains that employee’s were using way too much foul language in the office and some employee’s were offended by it. A stern warning was issued out to the employee’s with samples of how alternatives could be used when the foul language reaches the tip of your tongue :
