I seldom curse, but when I do, people jump and listen. That's because I seldom curse. I have two teenage daughters. I've never heard them curse at all, and I'm not sure my oldest ever has. From a young age, I taught them that I don't care what they hear, it's what they say that counts. I never sheltered them from "curse" words. I taught them that curse words are for when you really need to make a point and want everyone to listen to you because you are really upset. The less you use them, the more impact they have when you do. They took this to heart, and are saving it up for when something big happens, because I can't get them to curse even when I try :-) -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
