> Why use the same language as drunken sailors and criminals?
Aside from hate speech, I honestly don't care what kind of language my kid uses. But I'd be pretty disappointed if they reduced groups of people into negative stereotypes like this.
Indeed. Some sailors are amongst the greatest people I've met. And their language was salty.
Language is communication. Context is important. You don't bust into a church or interview swearing loudly. You don't try to communicate every thought with a curse word.
