in my experiance (oldest of 5, experiance is sorta extensive...) people using 'bad' language (which is something i have a problem with. how can a word be inherantly wrong, but thats a different debate...) isnt what corrupts children. its the parents who then go and make a big deal out of the bad word. if you say "set screws suck", the child is most likely not even going to notice. howerver if someone says that, then the childs parent flips out about the persons language, suprise, suprise, little childs curiousity has just been activated...
dont take that the wrong way...im not advocating using words on which society frowns in front of impressionable ears, because the child is impressionable. im more saying that some people get to be crazy and blow it out of porportion.
on the other hand, im not a parent (which is probably a good thing...) so what do i know.
