Required child reading material
Let’s face it; every child knows more swearwords than Gordon Ramsey. What they’re less good at is using language in sophisticated and appropriate ways. So encourage them to read the elocutionary delight that is Stephen Fry’s new blog. He swears occasionally, but you feel his appreciation of the English language in every letter.
Grow children up on proper swearing like this and you might help replace “[grunt, grunt] Fck ya u cnt [grunt]” as the default rhetoric.

Bah, even when you Brits say that it sounds so much more cultured than when an American says it. Like, say, DeNiro or Pesci. Or, especially, me!
