I wonder why English talk shows allow celebrities to swear with the f-word, but American talk shows don`t.

Alumet cut is the same but 2 1/2 inches long.

More than 90% educated young people and adults cannot distinguish between the terms "afraid/scared" and "having a phobia", with the first referring to fear with reason(s) and the second to mental condition which can and should be treated through therapies.

Having eyes, but not seeing beauty; having ears, but not hearing music; having minds, but not perceiving truth; having hearts that are never moved and therefore never set on fire - these are the things to fear.

OK but I do feel strongly about the fact above me since yes, I know what a phobia is and I hate to say I have it- but my parents will never test me to be sure because they don't care but whenever I see a roach at any distance, I have a panic attack. It was so bad one morning when I was home alone I couldn't move for a while and I was numb. (In case you're wondering. I managed to swipe up on my phone to my emergency contacts and contact my friend who knew how to handle me when this happens) . Then other people claim to have a phobia of, say a bee, bit then a bee goes by and they just wave their hands a but and act frightened. So yeah, I believe that random fact but it just makes me annoyed because I might be one of those people who claim to have it and I'll never be sure.

Yeah, people tend to misunderstand mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, phobia, OCD, and PTSD. I used to have ADHD when I was a child, so I hate it when people are joking around about it.

because swearing is normal in the uk, it’s pretty much necessary at this point. americans feel that sweating is a bad thing but it’s totally not here!!

Alright, I thought upper-class British people are more constrained with themselves because they want to act like a gentleman, and it is surprising that it is the Americans that think swearing is bad.
By the way, Eddie Raymayne sounds like a gentleman even if when he throws f-bombs! :lol:
