I'm doing a survey for my AP Statistics class, and i was wondering if you could help me out. I had to pick to things that, were unrelated and try to prove they were dependant on each other. I know Hatrack doesn't like helping with HW, and your not your just providing the data... So answer these two questions if you will.. (feel free to provide your comments on wether or not you think they relate)
1) The ammount of R rated movies you watch in the average month
2) The ammount of times you cuss , in a day (I know cuss is a slang word, but i can't think of th real word)
So for me 1) 0 2)once a day.

1.) 4
2.) That's a toughie. Can I get away with saying, "All the time"? I can swear like a sailor, and it's such a bad habit it comes out in front of my family.
Posted by Danzig (Member # 4704) on :
1) 1 or 2 2) Out loud? 20 to 50, I guess. Maybe more. Sometimes less, if I do not talk to anyone that day.
Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
Is that cussing out loud, in public? Or mumbling to yourself, and cussing when you're alone?
Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :
1) 0 to 2 or 3 (I don't watch many movies at all.)
2) I try to keep it to a zero, but sometimes it slips out eg. when someone fails to signal a turn or lane change.
Posted by Little_Doctor (Member # 6635) on :
1) 2-4
2) More than I should. I try not to though.
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
What counts as swearing? The usual "bad" words? Is the other form of Darn a swear word?
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
1) 0 2) very small fraction-- I try really hard not to cuss, but when I am sleep deprived, annoyed, and hurt myself repeatedly, if the baby is not in the room a "d" may slip out occasionally. I say "crap", "heck", "gosh", and "dang" much more often, but I'm trying to curb those (as well as "shut up" and "stupid") before Princess picks them up. Posted by Vadon (Member # 4561) on :
2-3.
0... I just don't swear. Or if I do it's so rarely that it's more like once a week or every two weeks.
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
1) 0
2) I say 'damn' a lot, but usually not in public. Probably 1-2 a day does it actually slip out in front of people.
Posted by romanylass (Member # 6306) on :
1)1-2
2)About once or twice a day, usually when I hurt myself
9kq, I am much stricter on "shut up" and "stupid" than the occasional "oh, s**t". I hate, hate, HATE to hear people say "shut up".
Posted by Lanfear (Member # 7776) on :
Swearing is any word, darn* included. Thanks for all the help. For Question 2, a one number answer would be nice because ill have to assign a number value because i have to graph it. Muttering to yourself counts as well

I wouldnt count those words as cuss words. There not the nicest thing to say but I dont consider them as such.
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
1) 1-2, if that. 2) 1, if that, aloud. 4-5 in my head

Posted by Theca (Member # 1629) on :
1. 0.2 2. 4-5. I only swear at myself unless something terrible just happened. "Da*n me" and "shut up" are my usual favorites.

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
1) 2, maybe even more. I don't look up to see if they're R rated or not, I just don't care about it. If I hear it's a good movie, I'll go see it and that's it.
2) 0. And trying to get others to swear less. It's amazing how people can change in the right company!

1) 0 2) maybe once every couple months, when I let really mad me take over
Posted by Sartorius (Member # 7696) on :

2) Way more than necessary, needful, or called for. Habit developed when working with roofing/construction/maintenance crews. *tsk. tsk's self sadly*
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
1) 1
2) Between 0 - 10 depending on the day. Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :
1) 0 2) 0
For Portabello's response: Do you consider saying "Crap!" cussing?
Posted by Exploding Monkey (Member # 7612) on :
1) 4, maybe 5
2) I must swear 50+ times a day. 95% of it is casual. It's just how I speak.
Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :
Is that the exploding part?
Posted by CRash (Member # 7754) on :
1)1 2)0
Posted by Epictetus (Member # 6235) on :
Question one: three Question two: 30 to ummm...infinity
#2 depends on whether I'm at work (though I admit I dropped the f-word a couple of times today, but today was a bad day,) and how much time I spend on this forum.
Posted by Ginol_Enam (Member # 7070) on :
1) Probably only two or three at the most. Most of the movies I watch all the way through are PG or PG-13... I guess 2 will work if you need just one number.
2) 0. Swearing = teh devil
Posted by Astaril (Member # 7440) on :
1) 1 2) 0-1 (Maybe once every month or something, only when I get really frustrated)
Posted by imenimok (Member # 7679) on :
1) If I watch 10 movies in a month, probably 7 or 8 of them are rated R. 2) Not quite up to sailor status, but I'm quickly running out of creative alternatives.
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
1).25 (Maybe every 4 months) 2) 1 time per week.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
1) Around .5; in other words, about one every two months.
2) Depending on what you consider a swear word, around 5.
But keep in mind that you're dealing with a small and self-selected sample here and subjective data, meaning that your survey is going to be largely worthless.
Posted by MidnightBlue (Member # 6146) on :
Q1: In the average month, probably none. Q2: On the average day, probably none.

Is anyone else curious if OSC will respond on this thread? *crosses fingers*
1).5
2)Hmm...well, if I am with my best friend who lives out of town, I would venture a guess at 100-500. If he is not around, then I say 0-1 times a day.
Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
1) 0-1 I don't watch many movies
2) too many some days, but on average less than 20
Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :
1) 0 (I have to admit that if I were a bachelor I'd watch more because I love movies)
2) Hmm. Never the sh-word or the f-word or the d-word or the b-words, but I have my pet euphemisms that I use more than I should.
