[IP] more on "return of the 7 dirty words"
From: nrsinowitz@xxxxxxx
Dave,
There is nothing intrinsically dirty or profane about a word. What
determines their 'profanity' is common usage -- which
can change with the passage of time.
For example, when I was a youngster one would never use the word "screwed"
or "sucks" in polite society, business, or
schools. Both of these words were viewed as 'dirty' and 'profane'. Today
both words are used freely everywhere.
