he really tried and wanted to build up, but he completely f*cked up every single part of every single thing. Oh f *ck, we'll just go back to do, as we were doingĪnd in some other, I simply cannot change interviewee's words: If you don't want to do things, just don't f*cking do it However, in some cases it is less harmless, because it more deeply changes the perceived meaning: It's just super f*cking slow, and really f *cking annoying Since I use transcripts for a content (and not formal) analysis, I sometime 'smooth' interviewee wordings (like removing ' hum', ' well', ' you know', and other recurring verbal tics).
Question: how to deal with curse words in content you need to quote? One of them, a native english speaker, used a lot a swear words (basically the f-word). In my research, I interview practitioners/real users.
