CAUTION: THIS CONTAINS ADULT LANGUAGE
Ok, so why the caution? I was around four adults for over half the day today. I didn't hear any language that would be unsuitable for any age children to hear. The same yesterday. And the day before.
So I'm starting to get a little offended by the warning. Am I less of an adult if I don't use inappropriate language? I'm not implying I don't ever use language that I regret. Unfortunately, I do. But if I knew a camera was rolling, I certainly wouldn't. It is a real peeve of mine to see those being interviewed to use expletives purposely. They appear to think it cool nowing they will be bleeped.
The same with athletes. Do they not know that they are being watched very closely? That lots and lots of us can and do read their lips. Tiger, are you reading this? What about you Fred Couples? And a plethora of baseball players.
To me, it's not really adult language. Maybe it should caution about immature language. Yeah, I like that a lot better. I remember in school when we learned to spell the word but; I thought that was so funny. Even though what I was laughing about was spelled differently. But I was a child, an immature one at that.
So let's do it--immature language. There's nothing very adult about cursing or using gutter language.
