The word 'fuck' is not correct or acceptable in formal written English. In fact, most publications maintain a strict policy against using the word. It should never be used in any formal or professional contexts. If used in any other context, it should be done sparingly, in a non-offensive manner. Example sentence: "I can't believe he just said that, what a f***ing jerk!".

Many held signs that said "justice for Mark Duggan" and chanted "no justice, no peace – fuck the police".
Herc fuck-ups: up one to four: duffing up Bodie again when the poor guy thought he was free and clear.
Herc fuck-ups: up two to 20 – ignores Bubbles's cry for help for a second time, and then set up by Bubs to arrest an innocent minister.
Being a terminologist, I care about word choice. Ludwig simply helps me pick the best words for any translation. Five stars!
