What was that first spike, the first use of profanity?
Also, what specific words have been used? Has Dash ever sworn?

[Austraeoh Fact Checker]

There's only two instances in the first story, one in Windthrow:

The damnable fog has moved in to draw a funeral veil over this mountain

And one in Silvadel

"Wait just a damn second WAIT!" Zetta shrieked, standing up. He blinked several times at the empty floor, then gazed up at Ember. "Did she just kiss you?"

I don't think Rainbow herself is responsible for any of them. Probably....

Oh, thanks for the chart! Profanity is a good enough reason for me not to read the fic.

What exactly did you use to define 'swear words'?

3554576 That's 800 swear words out of over 1 million collective words. I say that's pretty tame myself.

3577387 You do have a point here. However, Utaan seems to be increasingly NSFW-ish.

3577611 If mild swear words are your definition of NSFW, then swears are the least of your worries. Utaan effectively starts on a pirate ship, and if mild (never particularly severe) swears were not used, something would be wrong. The vast majority of real swear words have been a certain word rhyming with "ham". Each spike in the story has a logical and identifiable explanation. I can sympathize with the department of people who don't care for swears, but if you are flat-out unwilling to even try a book because it contains roughly 0.03% mild swears (that's less than one every 3300 words, and the first 200,000 words have only two), then there are probably far more important reasons for you not to read it.
