[Margaret Pilkington]

Shaker, Chaucer was speaking the language of the day...the words commonly used as swear words were Old English parlance......but personally I do not want to hear them bandied about by people who wouldn't know that fact if it bit them on the bum. You don't hear these same people using Latin do you...that is another one of the old languages.
The best compliment that I can offer you is to hope that you live long enough to be seen as 'Old fashioned'.

I think that swearing is just a sign of a lazy mind and it is a fashion of followers rather tham leaders. I would rather be a leader than a follower.
And I would rather be deaf than have to listen to the foul language of SOME of the youth(and not so young) of today.
