Hi, I'm just going through proofs...and my copy editor is pretty certain that although the word 'f*ck' was in use back in 1850's America it wouldn't have been used in the following way:
'For f*ck's sake you idiot...'
'F*ck it, they're staying with us...'
Can anybody throw any light on how the F word might have been used in the wilds of America circa 1850 by a corse and unrefined trapper? I have googled but so far drawn a blank.
