If you're going to cuss in a foreign language, at least learn how to spell the profanity correctly. Otherwise you just look like even more of an idiot.

Hi Skrej,

The thing is that our software doesn't allow to type the F-word here on the forum Wink.

I didn't understand that to be what Skrej meant.
I know someone who often manages to make himself look like an idiot without using any cuss words at all -- foreign or otherwise.
