I've encountered stories that I found nutsoid, without the 4 letter words.
But I take things in context. I remember in the 1950s, on American television, you couldn't say a woman was pregnant, even if she was obviously so. You had to say 'she was with child'. A strange way to put things.
Anyway, I don't think I've purchased books that had obsceneties in them, I doubt if I will.
I typically scan random parapgraphs in a book to decide if I want to buy it, if I find 4-letter words, I put it back.
And note folks that I spent 6 years in the US Navy, and I can turn the air blue with words. But I'm not interested in reading it in a book.
