why are we not allowed to swear on yahoo answers?

Hi.

If I understand correctly, you would like to use swearing words to make your point on Yahoo! Answers.

Let us contemplate this issue to determine if swearing words are necessary.

" How can we better our country lifestyle?"

As you can see, the above sentence does not contain swearing words, and the sentence is complete and accurate, not to mention understandable.

Now let's try this:

" How can we F---------ing better our Country lifestyle?"

Such sentence could be cut shorter by subtracting the word " F------ing" and the sentence would still be accurate and grammatically correct.

My point is: Swearing words are not necessary in sentences. They're not required, wanted and recommended, so there is no reason to use them in your sentence.

It's like English Class. A sentence such as " The reason why I called was to make sure you were ok, " could be shortened if we sutract the word " WHY"

For example: The reason I called was to make sure you were ok."

Also, swearing words are considered degraded and unacceptable. This is the main reason Yahoo! prohibits swearing words, to prevent Members from degrading the site.

Take care. I hope this has helped you.
