Silver Seven Census: A Study in S7S Vulgarity (UPDATE)

PrintNOTE: Big thanks to PeterR for the commenting stats.
After reading through the strings of expletives after nearly every opposition goal, I was curious as to who was responsible for these choice words. Using a list of all of the users with over 100 comments, I set out to see who had the highest percentage of NSFW language in their comments.
Purpose: To determine which active member of the S7S community has the highest percentage of "colourful" comments
Method: Using the handy "Search Posts and Comments" box, I searched by username for any of George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words. Using the number of hits, I divided by the total number of comments to determine a percentage.
Hypothesis: Mike Hurley will lead the pack.

Observations: The person with the highest number of profanity-inclusive posts is everyone's favorite cartoonist, Mark Parisi. Speedy McEachern led in the highest percentage, being the only user breaking the 10% mark. As well, every user with at least 100 comments had at least one use of one of the seven words.
Now that I've searched through by individual words, I've noticed some more interesting facts. Most glaring to me is that none other than PeterR leads everyone by a hefty margin in the use of the S word. As well, the lack of the final three words is intriguing. Finally, I knew in my heart I was bad for the F-bombs. My apologies.

Do you like this story?
Comments
Hahaha
I’m impressed with my restraint.
Silver Seven: the Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators blogs.
Also, this doesn't include comments of the FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU... variety
It would hardly be feasible to generate statistics for those comments using the search, of course. Unless there is regex support?
Technically, FUUUUUUUUUU is only half a swear.
As well, you’re not on my list and I’m not really sure why.
True... I use EFFFFFF a lot or eff this... because I don't like swearing!
These 4 times must have been intense moments hahaha

Congratulations, Speedy_McEachern
But also congratulations to Missy, who had the lowest profanity percentage of us all.

I'd like to know the breakdown of usage among the 7 individual words
New assignment for you Mike! ;)
GO SENS GO!!
OH my...Great job Mike! ROTFLMFAO
Hey, does that count?

I've only sworn eight times here?
Clearly I am underperforming
by Graham MacAree on Apr 29, 2010 11:07 PM EDT reply actions
I'm proud to say...
…I’m not on this fucking list.
Then again, I was usually too busy cursing out loud to be typing stuff.
The list only includes commenters with 100+ comments
Pick up the pace, daubs!
by Peter Raaymakers on Apr 30, 2010 7:30 PM EDT up reply actions
I think I would be on the list if I:
- commented more
- participated in game threads
- didn’t tend to use cartoon swearing (@#$%) by default because of my PG-13 protocol on Facebook and Over The Monster.
Next season. Next season.
Galactus does as he pleases. Because Galactus is drunk.
I have a five-tool player in my pants.
ACTUALLY, advanced metrics show that that wasn't "premature".
@#$%ing Twit: @blogtard
Well, we don’t encourage swearing, but we do allow it. Which, I suppose, is tacit encouragement, but we much prefer positive, constructive discussion.

This is exactly what they're mostly for, I'm sure
Which is probably fine.
by Peter Raaymakers on May 3, 2010 9:45 AM EDT up reply actions
I tend to be profane
But not ignorant (I feel).
I wouldn’t be surprised if I still used a lot of cartoon swearing instead.

Profanity aimed at other posters is pretty much where I draw the line.
Luckily, there has been almost none of that here.
Silver Seven - The Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa Senators Blogs
Ah, George Carlin, may he rest in peace
I’ll never forget that I saw him live in Ottawa. He was a legend.
Also, I feel VERY good about my 1.37%, but also I know that Bullshit is one that would jack up the numbers (considering its not one of the seven)
http://ottawasconsensus.blogspot.com/
I have a ridiculously low swearing rate
Which is odd because in real life I swear a lot. At least 3%.
Great work, fucker.

Holy fuck.
I’m lol-ing so hard at Ryan Classic right now that I have tears of pure fucking joy rolling down my face.
I’m also hoping to break 2% next season.
No, actually I can't get enough of Spezza's nerdy laugh.
Only 8%?

I think Jeff's vulgarity might be too creative to make a significant showing here
But it is real nonetheless.
Question:
Would anyone want to participate in a real Census survey, like… to figure out where everyone is from or their favorite Senators moment or things like that?
I'd love to know where everyone currently is/is orginally from.
- how many people are from Ottawa but currently living somewhere else,
- how many are originally from somewhere else and now living in Ottawa,
- how many are from somewhere else, don’t live in Ottawa, and love the Sens because Alfie is just that awesome
etc.
No, actually I can't get enough of Spezza's nerdy laugh.
I will answer for myself, anyway: From Kanata, in Nepean.

Is there any other questions? I think a series of Census articles is perfect for the long and dreary summer.
As for me, I was born in Cold Lake, AB, shuttled around the country with my military family, and now find myself in Brandon, MB (Mem Cup baby!) debating where to move this fall.
Well...
How many people are from Ottawa but currently living somewhere else?
Not me
How many are originally from somewhere else and now living in Ottawa?
Not me
How many are from somewhere else, don’t live in Ottawa, and love the Sens because Alfie is just that awesome?

Wow, how did I miss this thread the first time around?
I’m willing to bet that my total was skewed by that one memorable post-game rant I had. I think it was after game 6. Playoff hockey tends to bring out the worst in me. I doubt I can keep my percentage that high once I get to higher levels of posting…well, without consciously trying to swear.
