Paragraph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profanity#Anatomy_and_sexuality
Change the following: "Reference to prostitution brings its own set of profanities. Many profane words exist to refer to a prostitute, such as whore in English, putain in French, puttana in Italian, kurwa in Polish, блять (blyat') in Russian, and puta in Spanish."
To:
"Reference to prostitution brings its own set of profanities. Many profane words exist to refer to a prostitute, such as whore in English, putain in French, puttana in Italian, kurwa in Polish, шлюха (shl'yuha) in Russian, and puta in Spanish."
Main difference: (current -> requested)
...блять (blyat') in Russian... -> ...шлюха (shl'yuha) in Russian...
Source: (as a native speaker) The word "блять" (blyat'), is likely misspelled - it usually means "fuck" or as a vulgar expression of surprise, sadness, dread, apathy, etc; The main reason may be the original mispronounciation - the word "блять" (blyat') and the word "блядь" (blyad') sound very alike, thus having a slight grammatical error. Nevertheless, "блядь" (blyad') is rarely used by russians to depict a "whore". "Шлюха" (shl'yuha) is used more commonly.

- The source says that these words are "expletive interjections" based on terminology for prostitutes rather than an actual word used for a prostitute in common speech. Would you say that's an accurate description? Also note that the source uses the spelling "bljad'!" but someone changed it to "blyat' in the article.

- Pardon for the late reply,
- >Would you say that's an accurate description?
- No, such words are rarely used as an interjection in an everyday talk
- >the source uses the spelling "bljad'!"
- You mean in the cyrillic characters? No, it clearly spells out as "blyat' " Ancestrychanged (talk) 08:44, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Men and Women made a decision to remain Child-free and not get married due to of vulgar language since 2020s.
In the 2020s. Young men and young women made a decision to remain child-free and not get married. To definitively say that vulgar language is "accepted" in the 2020s, there's a growing cultural acceptance of profanity and slang, with some linguistic experts suggesting it's used more for purposes other than insult, and that younger generations are more likely to use it.

- Thanks for your very broad opinions about what's happening in society, but this has nothing to do with me or anything I've written. But, if somehow you are responding to something I wrote, please put it in the appropriate section. Chafe66 (talk) 04:02, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
Social perception
“Profanity is often associated with lower class professions like soldiers and carters.”
- Not very important, but someone should provide a short explanation of class or a link to caste. It isn’t guaranteed that the person reading this understands what ‘lower class’ means. 2600:4040:54C7:3600:E1A7:FD10:B5F2:4C95 (talk) 22:15, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
