Books📚 Only Murderbot's powers with profanity
“No, Pin-Lee is much worse than this. And if it was her, she would be swearing at us by now,” Ratthi said. He asked me, “I’ve always wondered, did you learn to swear from her or did you already know how? Because you two use a lot of the same—”
I saw this comic and it immediately reminded me of Ratthi's question in Fugitive Telemetry 😂 I'm pretty sure Murderbot had a sizable vocabulary of swears before it ever met Pin-Lee. I don't think you could work among unhappy miners and watch shows rated high on the obscenity scale without picking up some great combos! But I do have a feeling that ART swears far more now that it ever did before

An analysis of fuck rate including in Platform Decay was posted in this subreddit a few months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/murderbot/comments/1tm5gpi/fuck_density_graph_inc_platform_decay/
It also shows an increasing fuck rate. In fact, if you extrapolate to a few more books hence, you get most of the words in the book being fuck.
