I'm a little nervous and a little excited, but can't wait to take the ride. LOL!<br /><br />First, I must say that, as a walking dictionary, I am impressed when people use words I am not familiar with and "panoply" is one of them. Kudos to the degree in writing and literature! All I have is street cred and honors English classes in high school.<br /><br />Second, I love this line, "What I've taught my girls about language is appropriateness and sensitivity, but above all humility." That is just how I approach it also, but it sounds like a much smarter statement when you say it. :)<br /><br />Third, do you need to borrow some lotion? I hate that you have a chapped ass. Chapped hands or lips are bad enough, but take care of that arse, hon. Seriously, I do very much agree that educated people are allowed (if you will) to use curse words. For me, it all boils down to tact. Know when to let it flow and when to be respectful.<br /><br />Mmmm, and aren't you right about the language changing? I do agree with that also. We live in a society and culture where necessity and familiarity helped "Google it" become an action verb.<br /><br />Always enjoy your input, girl!Cindy Brownhttp://www.everydayunderwear.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837201606358940799.post-51201682007138571672012-05-09T09:54:59.607-05:002012-05-09T09:54:59.607-05:00Wow!

Much like you, I was brought up in a home where no one swore (although there was a lot of aggression and conflict)...it wasn't lady-like to swear. And like you, I once had some tough friends who swore all the time and it kinda felt good to let loose. These days, a problem with my computer guarantees a few good F-bombs.<br /><br />But, getting to to your question. Hmmmmm...I guess procrastination is a bad habit I love to hate.

This only made me more adamant about my right to write whatever the hell I wanted... then something unexpected happened - my blog became more popular than I ever hoped it to. Now, I have to hold my tongue way more goddamn often than I would like. I stick to the "less offensive" curse words, like those mentioned in this post. I frig and I freak where I used to f***. Since I have quite the sailor's mouth when among friends, it makes the time it takes to write a single post a little longer. But it's worth not alienating any audience. This is not to say that I <em> never </em> drop an "f-bomb". I adore the term "f***tard", and sometimes it simply cannot be replaced with a euphemism.

One of your comment...Hi Cindy, Fun times as always. One of your commenters has riled me a bit.<br /><br />I'm a city girl, with a city vocabulary spoken with a Boston accent. All of which I can play up or down—toned way down when I was a preschool teacher and nanny, played up when I'm with my homies. I also have a degree in writing and literature so I do have a panoply of words at my disposal.<br /><br />What I've taught my girls about language is appropriateness and sensitivity, but above all humility. <br /><br />While I don't believe tailoring my language to the sensitivities of those around me infringes on my freedom of speech, it has to be my choice, based on my values not imposed by others idea of what is "proper" whether it is the spoken word or written (a conversation for another day).<br /><br />I'm disturbed by the "...degrade us as educated people..." assertion which has the whiff of classism and racism, that kind of comment really chaps my ample ass.<br /><br />Personal preference is not the same as making wholesale statements about your perceived denigration of the English language. Proper English? There ain't any such animal. English is a common usage, evolving, living breathing entity. For example, Shakespeare was once "proper" English—and profanity, that's English too. <br /><br />English also doesn't belong to "...us educated people.." not sure who is being referred to there, apparently have different definitions of what educated means.<br /><br />Anywho. Cindy you asked what’s the habit you love to hate about yourself? Sigh! I just have to share my opinion don't I? Sometimes I just wish I'd keep it to myself. But what fun is that?Lynne Favreaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837201606358940799.post-17618577856063018192012-05-07T20:27:56.466-05:002012-05-07T20:27:56.466-05:00So that's why mom does that sometimes!
