Hi John McWhorter, I just listened to your interview with Reason and it was very interesting. Thanks for doing an AMA.
I was raised Mormon, and we were taught to never say swear words. I didn't even say "crap" until my teens. But we had "clean" swear words like darn, heck, frick, etc. I always thought that was dumb because it just fulfills the same purpose as swearing. What do you think about "clean" swear word substitutes, and where do they come from?

How do you not get completely depressed about the impacts you see? Hell, just a glance at the news makes me reconsider waking up; I can’t imagine actually diving deep into the bleak details.
