It's just a shame that so many people, these days, are so vocabularily challenged that they have to punctuate every sentence with several "F words". It's gratuitous and, initially, was intended to shock.

As for Chaucer and Wilde, I can't remember either using impoverished language as a matter of course. To misquote Lady Bracknell, "To lose one f***ing parent may be f***ing regarded as a f***ing misfortune. To f***ing lose both is f***ing carelessness." It doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it?
