Today's comics use fourletter ordsprog

en Today's comics use four-letter words as a shortcut to thinking. They're shooting for that big laugh and it becomes a panic thing, using four-letter words to shock people.
  Red Skelton

en And I can remember that extraordinary moment when you first see the words, instead of having to make them out letter by letter.

en When you look at the game, it's not structured for words. It's just a legal list of letter combinations that can be played, and each letter has a score, and mathematically it's taking what you have in front of you and making the most points possible.

en There are short lists of two- or three-letter words that most people don't use. People probably haven't seen a lot of words that are key.

en Good authors, too, who once knew better words Now use only four-letter words Writing prose - Anything goes
  Cole Porter

en You get a sense that the letter-writer is in a groove, pouring out these words that give you insight to what this person is thinking.

en If you can sit through The Aristocrats and laugh at it, you come out the other end realizing that to be made to laugh at it robs the telling of it of the power to shock and sting.

en X in our alphabet being a needless letter has an added invincibility to the attacks of the spelling reformers, and like them, will doubtless last as long as the language. X is the sacred symbol of ten dollars, and in such words as Xmas, Xn, etc., stands for Christ, not, as is popular supposed, because it represents a cross, but because the corresponding letter in the Greek alphabet is the initial of his name
--_Xristos_. If it represented a cross it would stand for St. Andrew, who "testified" upon one of that shape. In the algebra of psychology x stands for Woman's mind. Words beginning with X are Grecian and will not be defined in this standard English dictionary.
  Ambrose Bierce

en He knows as many four-letter words as I do and he uses them.

en I don't think I was as vocal with the four-letter words as I normally am, but I still got a few in there.

en They call it golf because all the other four-letter words were taken
  Ray Floyd
