This is a valid argument. I respect that.

It is fascinating. I'm not gonna force them to change the way they speak if they choose not to tho. At the end of the day, I knew what they meant, and it matches what their intentions are, then communication has happened. It's a casual setting after all, not gonna die on this hill.

Note that the rules change depending on context. This is just to casual a space for forcing people to say one thing or another.

It's an amazing book, but I don't think that the comparison here works. There's a difference in a powerful power structure that's using language to manipulate a population (people have a lot to say about the newspeak and 2+2=5, but can't see the forest for the trees) and a person on a web forums choosing not say fuck. Let the person choose how they want to communicate. The only one here forcing their rules are the ones who are saying they SHOULD say fuck rather than f*ck
