The [F-ing] Carolina Reader Essays!

In the two Carolina Reader essays, both topics focus on the meaning and usage of the word "fuck." I don't think that they are arguing opposing views because they both believe that the f-word is increasing in usage and is also loosing it's meaning. However, Reilly is less instistant upon making an active initiative to stop swearing, while Achenbach is stressing that the usage of these profanities is causing a serious problem in the world. For instance, Achenbach supports his claim by using evidence from a serious lawsuit over profanity on the radio while Reilly is less serious and suggests people should use other words like "you son of a biscuit," to reprsent these vulgarities.
