Bleep! Has Reached 500 Members!

Wow. When I put up the first page of the Bleep! website on August 17, 2009, I had no idea that I would collect members, that I would publish in so many forums, or that Bleep! would become the widespread phenomenon it now is. I want to thank you all for making Bleep! the organization it has become.

I am thrilled to let you all know that Bleep! has now reached 500 members! I cannot thank you all enough for being members of Bleep!, and encouraging your friends to join, too. You guys really don't know how much it means to me. I was recently reading some old emails I had sent to a friend of mine, and I said in one, "I have 81 members - yay!" Wow, has Bleep! come a long way since then!

Bring Bleep! to 1000 members - encourage friends and family to join Bleep!!

  2. Congratulations!

    I'm curious what your opinion is of using the word "effin" instead of, well, you know what it's a substitute for. It appears in the Harry Potter books. I'm not a fan of this. I suppose a parent can answer his kid who wonders what effin means, "it's short for freakin'."

  3. I thought of a question you can ask your readers: What is your opinion of yelling out a curse word in a foreign language, such as merde or drek -- in lieu of the English words?

  4. I think the following site is a great Jewish resource for the topic of clean language:

  5. Thank you all so much!

    To answer your question, Ohel Moed, I totally support using alternatives, like effin - as long as you don't say the actual word, few people will think less of you. Obviously it's not the most ideal path, but I use them all the time. Ditto to words in other languages (lol, my mom says drek all the time).
