re: When did it become ok to drop "f bombs" in mixed company?

Actually, for the uninformed cursing is not a moral violation. A violation of social convention in some setyings? Yes. Not a moral violation howevet. The English language has one of the most colorful venaculars. It is used without regard to social class or educational level. I have heard just as many of my faculty Ph.D. colleagues curse as I have anyone else. Normally it us considered inappropriate ti curse around young children. However, at some point between late adolescence and young adulthood the prohibition goes away. That saud, I think we all know when and when not. However. The language itself does not bother me at all
