Correct. Being crude is one thing; ignorance another.
If I came to you today and asked that you pardon ten F-yous, then, indeed, my ill behaviour.
That’s not the argument I’m after, however. I’m after the argument stating that people choose to be at their means or beneath.

There are many,today, in the black community, who, even though they come from middle class and upper middled class homes, say that being good in school/getting good grades, is " white " and refuse to work diligently at learning. There are even some whites, who follow this example and I am NOT talking about kids who are going to terrible schools.
John Kerry's use of the F word, to seem " hip ", is yet another example of the downward trend in the debasement of the spoken and written word.
