There is a new study from Queen Mary University in London, England, which looked at the words used on Twitter.  Keep in mind that Twitter is an Internet medium that only allows posts of up to 140 characters in length – two short sentences at best.

The study of over 10,000 Twitter users found that “left-wingers” (ya gotta love the Brits’ adjectives) use profanity far more often than “right-wingers” on social media.

The study stripped out all the common words and looked at differentiating words between Republicans and Democrats.  Remarkably, the obscenities that begin with “F” and “S” made the list of Democrats’ top 20 words.  Among Republicans’ top 20 words were “God” and “America.”    They also found that Republicans were more likely to use words “we” and “our” whereas Democrats used the words “I” and “me” more often.  Democrats were more likely to use the word “love” or “like” and to talk about feelings.  Republicans using Twitter mentioned “Obama” or “Obamacare” far more often than Democrats.
