Yup, some people swear so much it becomes a stop- or filler word, padding out a sentence unnecessarily.

I mean you could insert a variation of "fuck" half a dozen times in the above sentence and it would add nothing of value to it.



Emphasis.

Am I suggesting you should do this with all your sentences? Absolutely not. However, I would certainly not read the two sentences the same.

(Food for thought: spices do not generally add nutritional value to food. Yet, each has their own preference as to whether, and how heavily their food should be spiced.)
