Sweary world

I'm grateful for US techy site The Verge for pointing me to WTFlevel.com.

This site attempts to monitor how twitchy and angry our world is, by tracking profanities on Twitter. The team doesn't disclose its full list of rudeness and supporting algorithms, to prevent deliberate, co-ordinated surges. But I suspect it's based on American phrases, and there's room for some clever development of a UK version.  And if I was running it, I'd put the explanation at the top, not at the bottom. They'd probably say "WTF ?".
