Currently, there is no rule at foru.ms or TAW that forbids the use of gosh, gee, gee whiz, golly gee, or other words that are substitutes for the names of God and Jesus. These words do take the Lord's name in vain and are a violation of the Ten Commandments.
Many people are simply not aware of how much these words do offend God and their fellow Christians, but in every Orthodox Church where I have visited, these words are highly discouraged.
This is a thread for the discussion and formulation of a TAW rule that forbids the use of these words.

If there is interest in pursuing this matter, and a rule is forumulated, then a poll will be established.
