Excellent comment - it reminded me what my Dad told me years ago after I
said a word that was inappropriate - I think I called my brother a name -
and Dad said "people who use 4 letter words have poor vocabularies and are
unable to properly express themselves" any other way.
Sadly, foul language has become common place - from shopping malls to
sporting events to school - unfortunately, if it is bothersome to you, you
are probably better off staying away from those places. Of course, it's sad
people with good manners are forced to avoid places because of a few (or a
lot) of bad apples.
Happy New Year --

Hans: "Foul" language is usually an indication that the user can't find a
more accurate or descriptive term to describe the thought. But the best
test would be that if it isn't something that would be acceptable when
talking to children, or in polite company, then it probably is "foul".
And
there doesn't seem to be any M-B (or Diesel) content in such language,
either.
So Happy New Year to you and the net, too!
Werner

What is foul language? It's all relative. The Brits say " you bloody
bas..."
, we say " you f^&*ing bas...", and the Germans just say "Du
Schweinehund".
(My contribution for the last Saturday in 2006)
Happy New Year to you all.
