I was in the Netherlands the other week and I was faintly amused to see the word kunt used in public places. I chuckled to myself because of course the "similar word" in English is still one of those words that will get bleeped on late night TV. As far as I could work out, it means could or can (real translation appreciated) and as such is a fairly vital part of the Dutch language.
I don't think that there is much of a 'profanity' problem in the monestary because basically we are all nice people who focus on Perl issues and the consideration / editorial system deals with any serious issues.
If anyone would like to consider/edit this post then please /msg me to explain why. Thanks!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
