>Your missing the same point David was (or does). Why does elminating words from your vocabulary make it a higher standard? Bascially, you are saying "these words are bad, I don't want anything to do with them, I don't want to hear them, I don't want to say them and I will be a better person because of it". Thats closed-minded and prejudice, basically, its a lower standard.
How about looking at it this way: "These words offend a lot of people, so I won't use them in normal conversation. I'll reserve them for people who aren't offended by them, and for truly unusual circumstances where the strength of these words is called for."
