What's this?

I partially blame movies; Apatow and others started that

Maybe 10 years ago? Not sure. But suddenly the movies coming out for teens had the F word in every sentence. It was really noticeable, and while I've been known to curse on occasion, I don't talk like that. It's snowballed since then. As we have told our kids (now teens), "people who use bad words are demonstrating they aren't smart enough to find better words."
