Is a good and vehement "DARN!!" acceptable??  And, is a mumbled or murmured
"damn" out of bounds?  If the judges, etc., are to play censors in this
matter, should they not also specify decibels of expressed emotion --- since
tone and volume are just as important in this issue as the actual four, five
or more letter words.  I have to admit that I have the ability to turn a
perfectly acceptable term into an "obscenity" just by adding the appropriate
tonal twist.  How do rate that???
