I am wondering what the rules are exactly, not because I use such words a lot but because I am thinking of doing a hub on famous people I have met and how they didn't or did turn out as I'd imagined. Captain Beefheart and Marc Bolan were two music ' heros' of mine I met but I didn't end up having a pleasant conversation with and both used 4-letter words in what they had to say to me. Bolan used the F-word and Beefheart used the word beginning with C and ending with T. Is it OK for me to write hubs using these words or would it be classed as offensive?
Honestly, I don't know, but you could write them like this c**t or F**k. I don't think doing so would be detrimental to your writing. You'd still get the full flavor of the quotes without violating and Hub policy.
I forget the main purpose of your asking and now I am searching answers to this Riddle/Puzzle etc...Where/How will I get the answers I don't know..
If it helps, I also consider "Fat-free" to be a four letter word

I am sure it would be fine. Especially as it is in the cause of historical accuracy.
You met Marc Bolan huh? He was a hero of mine as a kid. He died before I had a chance to meet him, but "Ride a White Swan," was my first album.
Most of the famous people I have met have been the same. lol Yul Brinner was a C***
Sparingly, and in context, it's permitted.
Of course, I've always maintained that "diet" is a four-letter word, and I myself use it regularly in hubs.
Thanks for all your replies Poppa, Mark, Maddie and fun2hub!
You have answered my question!
