Thanks for posting this. I wish it had gotten more up-votes.
This whole "some words are BAD" thing is ridiculous. I allow my child to swear, but of course, with a warning that some adults will take offense, because those adults are overly sensitive about silly things. So my child knows what to avoid around those silly people, but that it's okay around me.
I teach my child that words are tools, and tools are not inherently bad, but we may use them in a bad way. Similar to steak knifes, which are neutral tools, and can be used by people for good or evil.
I cringe every time I hear a parent tell their children that a word is bad.
In the end, my child doesn't swear any more or less than any other child of the same age. Interesting, that.
