The Marchex Institute, a Seattle based mar- keting group, performed a study using call min- ing technology to scan over 600,000 phone con- versations for curse words. Surprisingly, New York didn’t top the list. It was Ohioans who were reported to use four letter words the most compared to the other 49 states. Over a 12 month period, calls from consum- ers to businesses were surveyed and it was found that words from A to F to S were used most in the morning versus evening times.
