TL;DR, but I'm all for fighting the tide of coarse, impolite, unthinking, low-class speech. I don't try to prevent my kids from hearing/reading profanity, and we DO talk about polite and intelligent language choices, but fact is, the best way to learn a language is to be immersed in it, because your subconscious will start learning for you. Same goes for being immersed in profanity. I'd prefer they be immersed in better word choices.
Who was it that said: "The worldly gentleman is one who knows how to swear, and chooses not to."
Well, if it was no one, then some one should have. I'll take credit for it.
