It can be amusing. But it also, Manson explains, can be profoundly annoying. "One thing that offends me is bad grammar. That makes me more pissed than anything in the world, as someone who respects the educational system or someone who just respects the way things are intended to be in America. We have the ability. There's no reason that people can't simply use decent grammar.
And not just decent grammar but clean language. Marilyn Manson doesn't like excessive swearing. "I don't generally use profanity just for the sake of it," he replies, when asked to name something that is repugnant to him. "If I do it, I'm generally being sardonic, or it's the legitimate or only way to express an angry thought. If you use too much of anything, it becomes watered down. If every other word is 'fuck,' then what's the barometer of fuckness? It's like, if everyone was cool, what would the point of cool be?"
Hey hey! -winks-
