I often swear in my comments (although I am trying to get away from that)... :P

And here I thought I was the only one

That is funny, in a weird, somewhat disturbing, sort of way.

I find that I don't swear much regularly, so I do it less online. But that is amazing.

My favorite word out of the bunch? Penguin, of course.

I'm a compulsive swear-aholic...mechanic for a father :P

I'm working on changing that though as I grow older 8)

Just I find programming so addicting and yet sooooo frustrating...

that is funny. i admit i do swear pretty regularly, however i never put it in any of my comments when coding.

Given that it says "A word is counted if it appears in any context, even if part of another word" and that according to the stats even then they only occur around a 100 times in all the millions of lines of source -- it seem absurdly tame.

I never swear in my code. BUT, there are plenty of swear words even in Winblows code.

Yeah I have to admit... I don't use swear words in my code. I might make the odd clean but sarcastic remark at things that were a pain to get working or things that don't come across all that logical even when it's the best way to implement them. When I think of all the times I've sat there pulling out hairs over things I'm coding though I can prefectly understand how large amounts of code will include a few obscenities.

Are we putting an age limit on viewing source code? ;)

Now that I think about it, the few times that I have expressed my frustration in code, I used comments that described how dorky something was that Microsoft did (either their servers or browsers). But even then, I don't throw down that many swear words. Mostly just sarcastic remarks about the stupidity inherent to that particular situation, or to my own stupidity. Whichever is funnier.

Same here - I take the sarcasm/funny route. At least someone else may share the feeling when they see what lies below those comments...;)
