I'll bet a paycheck that you are mistaken.

You need to get out more i if you think everyone (or everyone who was there) hears that those particular words on a daily/near-daily basis.

It's a simple fact that they don't. Not even close. I don't know what the percentage would be, and I'm not saying that the percentage is low, but it's plenty far away from 100%

I am astounded by your opinion about that. I know my life/experiences have not exposed me to everything the world has to offer, but an overwhelming number of the parents and teachers I have gotten to know so far, would most definitely not approve. I would love to have some real data to replace our two opinions. Do you have any?
