Profanity in Books--What's Your Dealbreaker?

Posted on 11:27 by Unknown
Today I am taking an informal poll of my readers:  How much profanity has to be in a book before you will stop reading it?  And what are your reasons?

For example, are you the type of reader that likes no profanity in a book?

Do you mind a damn or hell every now and then?

Do you skim over profanity?

Is profanity not a deal-breaker for you at all in books?

For me, I prefer no profanity at all, but I don't mind a hell or damn every now and then, particularly if it's the villain.   But I'm curious at to where other readers draw the line.

And just because I'm Mormon and we like to make up faux swear words, I'm including this video.

WARNING:  It has a lot of faux swear words in it.  And it's freaking funny.
