Dear Tex,

It is OK to say, "Bastard." Perfectly good English word.

Thanks.

Yes, it is.

And it is an accurate term as I applied it, unlike most cases where that word is used.

There is an English family who’s name is literally “Bastard”. I have often wondered is that is where the word originated. (that family does not pronounce the name as we do).
