This issue is not exclusive to teenagers. Interesting, if peculiar. One of my classes managed once to make it very clear to me that, while I could use all sorts of "dirty" words in quotes as examples, they didn't want to hear the one you can't write, even in quotes, even as an example to be analyzed. A number of the women said that hearing that word, even in quotes, would upset them so much they would not be able to concentrate on the class. Rick
