For many years, since the beginning of my internet "social life", I've found a little peculiar the way some people use f*cking asterisks. You know, when the asterisk replaces one letter in an offensive word to sort of make whatever you're saying less obscene. I'm not sure why I find this interesting, perhaps it's because I can't recall asterisks being used the same way in Spanish.
Clarification: When I write, I don't prepare or organize my ideas, I just write what I would say if I was talking to you in person, so sometimes my blogs end up a little messy. I don't even proof-read what I write before posting it so you may find grammatical mistakes and poorly written sentences. Sometimes I'll read my blogs a day or two after publishing them and I may re-write things that weren't too clear and any embarrassing grammatical mistake. Also, English is not my first language, so I apologize if reading my blogs become a struggle. Of course, if this is the case, I would imagine you wouldn't continue reading.
