Why is this obvious (I'm not being facetious)?
- imesh 10y agoBecause although I'm fine with swearing everyone else judges me harshly when my 3 year old says 'fuck'
- simonswords82 10y agoSee the other answer. And also imagine I swear in front of a kid and he goes home and says the word I used to his Mum or worse still perhaps to a school teacher. The Mum/teacher/whatever is potentially going to chastise the kid for using the word that I gave him but bless him, he doesn't know any better and just enjoyed making the sound. It seems most unfair that I should place the kid in such a predicament given he doesn't understand the wider context of language and where swearing fits within language and perhaps society.
