There was a major problem with improper language usage at games, so the rules committee decided to penalize improper language. My first game after this was at a major Catholic university, and they asked for a list of unacceptable words. None was provided, and the coach said that was OK, because they used words others considered to be bad. Then he asked about foreign swear words (our crew consisted of a a Brazilian and a German, along with me and we knew 5 languages amongst us). <sigh> This rule was quickly ignored until a player or coach made a scene with a word - the intent was what was punished. My point is that you know one when you see one, and Ted is doing his best to keep the list clean. Kids do read these e-mails, and what is acceptable to some is not to others. As someone else noted, there are ways of making your point in a manner acceptable to most, if not all.
