I grew up in a house­hold where pro­fan­i­ty was un­heard of and I could not even call God’s name in vain. Even re­cent­ly, when I stubbed my toe and screamed out an in­ap­pro­pri­ate word, my wife rep­ri­mand­ed me. But it seems swear­ing is an in­creas­ing trend world­wide. It has in­vad­ed our movies, songs, and cul­ture.
