American films are full of foul 
language, violence and nonloving 
values, yet...when someone uses a 
tiny word in public (in a joking way) 
its "the end of the world". This I...and 
many sweeds find quite hypocritical!">>

god love ya Maria you are spot on ole girl!! :-)
 As your English is worlds better than most of the Swedish as written here 
don't give it another thought. "Shitty" is a perfectly fine description of 
some of the things in this world and rarely does its use relate to fecal 
matter directly. Perversely had you used the word 'crappy', which means 
exactly the same thing and in exactly the same context, no one would have 
said a thing. As it is you used the word you used.......not the end of the 
world. Please don't allow some crappy attitude disturb your day. A while back 
a poster used the term "piece of merde"...this post passed without comment 
until someone decided that the word "merde" was among the verbotten nasty 
seven words. So subsequently and for many days we were deluged with the 
dfeiniton of merde and the unacceptability of its use. That incident as well 
as this one is a mere blip and evryone will get over it.

 Although there are words , Swedish as well as English, which do not belong 
in any context on this list, your use of the word was relevant and quite 
illuminating as to your feelings towrd that class of instrument.
  
In Grace Butterfly sin now more! :-)
