Linguistic doubt.

[Enrique]

I want to start a post here with the words "Damn it", regarding the car security belt. Is it too impolite? In case it is, what would be an euphemism for it?

[Sorrano]

"Dang it" would be a softer approach.

[Enrique]

Thanks Sorrano. I hope you are doing well.

[Sorrano]

Thanks Sorrano. I hope you are doing well.

No worries. I'm doing well, thank you, but on the last bit of recovery from a recent surgery. How are you doing?

[Enrique]

I'm doing fine, thank you. Was it a major surgery, if I may be curious? I miss the people in the BRS. There has been no activity in the last couple of weeks, except for your reply to the grammatical issue, which I appreciate. Do you like Bartok?

[Sorrano]

The surgery wasn't too major, but it was life changing. I'm doing fine, now, just a little sore but mostly recovered.

Bartok is one of my favorite 20th Century composers. I agree very much with your comment on his Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste.

Glad to hear your recovery is going well, Sorrano. All the best.

[Sorrano]

Thanks, I appreciate the well wishes!

[Peter]

Thanks, I appreciate the well wishes!

More good wishes from me as well! 'Dang it' isn't something we say in the UK!

Thanks, Peter! How about "Darn it"?

[Enrique]

Thanks, Peter! How about "Darn it"?

Darn it, I have heard it! I had quite forgotten. On second thought I dont see any need to use damn it or any of its euphemisms. One can denote indignation in other ways, though damn it is the shortest one.

[Chris]

I've always been partial to, "Confound it all!" myself.

[Sorrano]

Maybe I am wrong, but it seems that "damn" and "hell" are not considered as bad in England as in the US.

May be the cause is fanaticism is more proper of the States than of England?
