      No I still don’t believe that. It would work if you got everyone I met as a kid (such as teachers, schoolmates, and strangers) to also act as if the two words were switched, since then I’m basically growing up speaking a nonstandard English dialect with different swear words. It’s unclear that you could do it single handedly.
