Well, ya know, maybe I'm just one of those people that see the word fuck
as a personal attack. Deal with it. 

Vulgarity in itself is hostile by it's very nature. If you choose to use

Oregon has a law that requires a certain portion of any building funded
by taxes (i.e. public building) to be dedicated to art for that
building.

If you read my paragraph immediately prior to that sentence, you will
see that I'm using definition 1 from Merriam-Webster. Sort is a synonym
for class and kind. Nothing of the kind in reference to the
camaro/corvette paragraph.
