Well I obviously wasn't taught Shakespeare correctly because I wasn't aware of any filthy jokes in Macbeth or Richard III when we did them at school. I also wasn't aware of them when I saw them (and Hamlet) performed on stage either or in the Basil Rathbone film version of Richard III on TV so I'm probably naive and ignorant.

And to think it wasn't all that long ago that the word bl***y wasn't allowed on TV. When a girl in my class said she was late for school becuse she'd missed the bl***y bus the teacher remarked that she wasn't aware that a bus had been bleeding. And she wasn't making fun of it she was trying to point out that the girl could have chosen a more accurate word as an adjective without resorting to swearing.

There are restrictions on words permitted on this message board so there must be some validity in knowing what is an acceptable word and what isn't.

If we don't let someone know that we object where would it all end?
