Vulgarity, Halo 2, and you

We wouldn't be surprised if Josh Smith claimed famous economist Adam Smith as one of his ancestors. In a matter befitting of most social scientists (economists, psychologists, etc.), Josh Smith recorded the amount of profanity he heard over 33.9 hours of online Halo 2 action.

But wait, Mr. Smith did not just tally every word deemed offensive: he categorized every usage in excruciating detail (which may or may not be safe for work, so we will just direct you to the article if you want to know).

The data is broken down by category of words, with a few charts and graphs to express his findings and average usage per hour. Not surprisingly,
one word stood above the rest in terms of frequency and total usage. We wonder how these figures will change when Halo 2 enters the realm of PC
gaming. Great work, Josh, and very interesting read!
