Maybe I'm trying to up my score

I was amused by the curse-o-meter thing.  But it raises some questions for me.  Is the percentage based on the number of posts in which I cuss, or the amount of cussing overall?  I mean, suppose I had ten posts on my blog, and one of them was a shit-spewing tirade of epithets, enough to make both Neil and Danny cringe and say "Girl, d'you kiss your daddy with that mouth?!" while the other nine were all sweetness and sunshine-y with bunnies flying out my ass?  Would the volume of cursing in the one post overpower the lack of same in the other nine?  Or would my blog earn a tame "10% cursing" rating?  Are all curse words created equal, or does a well placed 'fuck' (and honestly, who doesn't appreciate a well placed fuck?) carry more weight than other words?  Will a forthright discussion of religion ping the curse sensors, what with the damnation and sentencing to Hell?  Is the meter sensitive enough to understand 'twatwaffle'?  What other crude euphemisms count toward my total?  Should I bump the discussions toward farm animals and domesticated felines, in order to skew the results toward the raunchy, even when I'm not talking about sex?

Inquiring minds want to know.

You'll notice that on my blog, I now only use f**k, not because I'm prudish, but because a lot of people read blogs at their jobs, and certain words get your blog blocked. Fear of losing readers is an effective method of censorship.
