I'd just like to point out that saying "fucking thing" adds absolutely
no meaning to your sentence...  It clutters your writing and drives
away 'language prudes' from reading your opinions...  And, frankly,
causes most others to devalue your writing.  I'm not offended by it, I
just think it's a sign of ignorance, that in order to express the
intensity of your feeling you have to resort to the word "fucking,"
which is really not descriptive at all...
