Re: WILL.I.AM's comment on Einstein
I'm mixed about the whole thing. While I think it was something that it was a very entertaining comment, and I am not personally averse to foul language, it sends a huge mixed message. Part of gracious professionalism (at least in the PNW) involves polite language. We've had some issues with students getting a bit too excited and using a foul word occasionally too loud, and had people directly tell mentors about it. This has come from judges too, apparently.

Overall, I don't think it will be too much to worry about. I don't think this one remark will have a dramatic impact, and I don't think it will be a sustained effort on Will's part.
