OHIO PEOPLE APPARENTLY SWEAR A LOT

Appar­ently, the peo­ple of Ohio are not prone to restrain their lan­guage.

The Seattle-based Marchex Insti­tute, in a recent study, found that Buck­eye State res­i­dents by and large, can swear along with the best sailors.

The insti­tute stud­ied more than 600,000 phone calls placed in the last year from con­sumers to busi­nesses using voice-recognition soft­ware that was uncanny at pick­ing up curse words that, well, I can’t say here on the radio. The result? Ohio res­i­dents swore more than any other state. Ohio also ranked in the top five least cour­te­ous states judged by the times that res­i­dents said please or thank you.
