Thank you for this article. I wish it could be read from the rooftops for all the world to hear. I personally hate profanity and crude language. Consequently my repertoire of acceptable TV shows is very limited. But I would rather watch reruns of old (clean) shows multiple times than watch newer offerings that would drive the Spirit out of our home.

I so totally agree with this article. I am so sick of the vulgarity and bad language that abound on the radio, TV, books, etc. I feel that people do not know how to write or talk anymore and use swearing and vulgarity as a way to hide their inadequacies.

It all comes down to what is taught at home at a early age and parents reinforcing it along the way with also teaching them good manners. I am old 86 and was taught by a wonderful mother whose grandparents came from England good manners. She came to me when I was about 14 or 15 when she heard me say a word PO and told me how bad that hurt her and asked if I would promise not to say that word again and I honor that promise today. And also it helped all of us boys and girls from the same branch ran around together all through are school years together and held the same values. Them were the days they gave there teacher a apple now it is just a free for all. Sad but true.

Thank you for the reminder! A recent convention that I did not attend was reported as being a “swear fest” as the speakers, mostly women, many with advanced education, declared their success in business largely through their freedom to use whatever language they chose. Sad.
