Oh wow ! Who'd have thought that obscene words are in the dictionary !

FYI, the word F*ck is one of the most flexible in the Engligh language. I mean, what other word can replace just about every word in a sentence ? : F*ing f*ck the f*cking f*ckers !

And continuing Apple's annoying trend of late, Pages can't find Dictionary.app if you place it anywhere other than in the /Applications folder.
