[Margaret Pilkington]

I don't like bad language in films, on TV, or in the street.......I find it offensive.
If I swear, it is in a moment of rage or pain(physical)...but it is usually a very mild expletive.
I tend to ignore asterisked words......much as I do swear words in books, and over the years I have found that it doesn't much affect the meaning of the written word.

I find it much harder to ignore spoken swear words....and recently took a group of 12year olds on one side and told them how disappointed their parents would be if they knew that they used such language in a public place(on a bus).

Children pick up swear words like pigeons pick up peas....and the sad thing is very few people are willing to take them to task....which is why so many of them are so foul mouthed in everyday conversation.
