Something everyone should learn is from an article that caught my eye on the BBC website this evening by Clive James, where he talk about... the removal of swearing?
Indeed, because we're all a bit partial to slipping a curse word in to emphasise our point, even from managers to kids with no manners to grandmothers swear (when they do I make the sign of the cross for the very sin of letting one slip), what if we just took them out.
Frank Skinner did so at one of his stand up gigs once. No one noticed. Maybe we should cut it out too, and not stain our childrens' souls with language that would turn the air blue.
