Right. Luckily, nobody in this thread has suggested anything anywhere close to that.

That's because you think that it should be encouraged since you don't want the kids to care what others think and limit themselves in self-expression. But I think that they should be aware of what others are thinking so they present themselves in the best way that they can be. Of course I have views about what that 'best way that they can be' is and to learn to swear without a care for words is not just a bad habit but, I think, disrespectful to others.

Wrong. I never said that. Please don't try to put words in my mouth, okay? I find that extremely rude and insulting (if you care what others think).

Okay then, my mistake.
