I would hazard a guess that most children learn the majority of their cursing from their parents, with non-family human interaction (for the homeschooled) coming in a close second. Of a wide variety of popular YAF/SF/F I have read, profanity hardly registers on the scale -- although many books of Fantasy will include some form of Hell, with accompanying damnation -- which should make for a very confusing book. 
The exception would I guess be Heck: Where the Bad Kids Go --they already do their own. |
I'm sorry, but not only does this piss me right the hell off, it's just another bloody version of the electronic baby-sitter, isn't it? I mean, now,
not only will the TV and Internet and digital games babysit your child, so you don't HAVE to, now the accursed freaking app will read the book FOR you, and pre-censor it, so you don't have to be adequately well-educated to have read your own child's reading material, FIRST, to be a competent parent?
That is just a giant steaming pile of frakking s**t.
And, BTW: I learned to swear serving my country in the Army. CENSOR
THAT.
