I suspect that a lot of the vulgar language was the result of liberal editing of the original text by the vulgar owner of the website. I saw several instances of modern idiomatic expressions in the narrative that would not have been in use at the time of Sgt. York. It is a pity that some writers feel that they cannot adequately express their thoughts without resorting to filthy language. It is the mark of a small minded individual without the requisite language skills to write intelligently.
