Since this thread is a result of the thread with the excessive use of profanity think about it this way:

In a public shopping area you hear some guy says a cuss word as he talks to someone but it really didn't register an alert to you. One or two people hear and think "how un-mannered". However, if this guy lets out a string of 12-15 cuss words you hesitate and you as well as a dozen or more people will stop to see what is going down.

It is really the same with most anything when it is taken to an excess.

One weed in the lawn - no panic.
A dozen weeds in the lawn - someone is doing weeding this weekend.

Some guy drinks a beer - no one really paid attention.
Some guy drinks a dozen beers - people worry if he is gonna fall and break something.

One car wreck on the highway - nothing on the evening news.
A 12 car pile-up on the highway - Story on the evening news.

It does make a difference in many things when there is an excess.
