From These Mouths Come the Noblest Words

Re: Sandy Banks column “It’s a Curse, but Words That Once Were Bad Are Now Oh-So-Cool,” Feb. 20). Concerning the use of obscene language, I would explain to the young people in the column that human mouths have enriched and led the world with a showering of the noblest words of mankind. With this heritage, their mouths should never be degraded to the level of spewing out the putrid sewage of obscenities.
