Thanks, fixed. I've been having a hard time getting spell check to work right in the article editor.
A swear box is a box into which you place money as the cost for swearing, i.e. saying taboo words. The idea is that you will swear less by increasing the cost of swearing. For example, in America people who have a swear box might place a quarter or a dollar into it each time they swear. Naturally, it works best when there are others around to help keep you honest.
