Outline

I chose the article "Dropping the F-Bomb" by Joel Achenbach because I feel like I can closely relate to this article. Over the last few years I have become quite guilty of overusing that word in particular at times. I believe I would have alot to say about this article, and have a good background to use while writing it.
