<p>What are your thoughts on using a word like "hell" in an essay? to give an example: "Just like a child who asks too many questions, I too have entangled myself in quite a mess, but I sure as hell am having fun."</p>
<p>Don’t do it. The sentence sounds kind of awkward with it anyway. Just say “…I sure am having fun.” I’m sure most wouldn’t have an issue with it, but why take the chance?</p>
<p>Don’'t take the chance</p>
<p>^^^^^^^^^^^^^^</p>
<p>Yeah it’s probably best, but simply omitting it sounds flat to me :/</p>
<p>Rephrase it completely then. If you don’t have a big enough vocabulary to express yourself without swearing, admissions officers will notice…</p>
<p>Without context it’s hard to know what you are trying to convert in the analogy. But IMO, the awkwardness is contained in the word “entangled.” Swearing isn’t going to rescue that.</p>
<p>Like a child who asks too many questions, it’s messy and it’s annoying, but I’m sure having fun.</p>
<p>Remove the second “too”: it’s redundant.</p>
<p>Between auto-spell on my device, and the inability to go back in CC and edit your own post, I almost never get it right the first time. Let me try again</p>

<p>Edit as appropriate to your analogy.</p>
<p>Not ok. </p>
<p>thanks guys really appreciate this!</p>
