if i was talking about people writing M***E then you'd have a point but what I was refering to was one individual (now banned) who spelt out swear words liker this M*O*O*S*E to confound the censor software ( btw I have used the hopefully non offensive name of a large canadian ungulate to avoid swearing myself - if anyone is offended by such then I apologise
)
joking aside I dont think we need a list of alternatives as expletives are generally redundant in conversation consider (still using da moose)
with "expletives" "I had moosing awful day today , everything that could go wrong turned to utter moose"
Without " I had an awful day today everything that could go wrong did"
the sense of these is exactly the same so there is no need to include even substitute expletives especially as we have the smileys
to make it clear if we are displeased , shocked or upset
