Some younger folk laugh at people who object to the use of the f-word. Perhaps they’ve never heard it used by a mean drunk in the throes of excited delirium. They use it as a punctuation mark in social media, in communication with friends, in the workplace, and to criticize persons in the retail, education and health sectors.

We all see, hear and feel language. Keep your words sweet in case you have to eat them. (I did not make up that phrase.)

S.B. Dagley, Voglers Cove
