Today's Children Are Officially Potty Mouths

tetrahedrassface writes "When the Sociolinguistics Symposium met earlier this month swearing scholar Timothy Jay revealed that an increase in child swearing is directly related to an increase in adult swearing. It seems that vulgarity is increasing as pop culture continues to popularize vulgarities. The blame lies with media, public figures, politicians, but mostly ourselves. From the article: 'Children as young as two are now dropping f-bombs, with researchers reporting that more kids are using profanity — and at earlier ages — than has been recorded in at least three decades.'"

I appreciate when strangers act with social disregard and disrespect as it gives me an easy opportunity to point out to my kids what not to do if you want to function in society.

Thanks for providing the example. It saves me from embarrassing myself.
