Omgosh is it normal

Stanley Hauerwas, a religion professor at Duke Divinity School, takes a different slant. He has been known to liberally salt his everyday speech with profanities.

It usually has the grammar of a lament. It is used five times as much by women as by men. In fact, our culture is more tolerant of profanities than obscenities. The Federal Communications Commission, for example, draws distinctions between profane language traditionally defined as irreverence toward God and obscene material defined by the FCC as material that describes sexual conduct in a patently offensive way.

Most profanities and vulgarities are allowed on the air at certain times of day, but obscenities are not. In many societies throughout history, it has been taboo to speak the name of God.

Linton Weeks. Glut1 deficiency syndrome is characterized by low cerebrospinal fluid CSF concentration of glucose with normoglycemia, infantile seizure, acquired microcephaly, developmental delay and ataxia.

As Glut1 is also expressed in erythrocytes, the diagnosis is confirmed by a decreased uptake of 3-O-methylglucose 3-OMG into erythrocytes.

An in vitro study has proved that the TM affects efflux rather than influx of glucose, explaining the discrepancy. However, the normal 3-OMG uptake in erythrocytes still indicates a possibility that the phenotype associated with this particular mutation may be milder. We compared the phenotype of three TM-associated patients with that of other Glut1-deficient patients.
