What is Profanity?

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

Hi, Nikita. I am a book reviewer also. I started writing reviews a little over a year ago. The beginning was a bumpy ride for me as I did not know all of the guidelines. When you read the OBC guidelines on how to write a review, look for a link to Official Profanity Guidelines. There you will find lists of words that differentiate among borderline profanity, non-borderline profanity, and not profanity. You can refer to these lists when you note profanity. :tiphat:
