Great post!
"-when His Name is taken in vain, the Catholic in the room will (or at least should) make reparation by praying "Sit nomen Dómini benedíctum!" ("Blessed be the Name of the Lord!"), to which another Catholic who might be in the room replies, "Ex hoc nunc, et usque in sæculum!" ("from this time forth for evermore!") or "per ómnia saecula saeculórum" ("unto ages of ages")."
How many of you do this? This is something I would like to see become common!

Another good thing, which I do, is to bow your head EVERY time you say or hear the Holy Name of Jesus, even if said in vain.
I also ask people who use His name as an epithet, "Are you praying or just taking His name in vain?" Even if they are not religious, it shames them.

It's new to me. I think it is a great practice.

How many of you do this? I do it in English, but I am going to try to memorize the Latin and do it in Latin.

Strange but when I go to Mass the only persons bowing to the name of Jesus is the priest and me. I have been doing that since 1937
