“Culture & good manners demand that conversation be free of obscene words.
“Words& opinions that might be displeasing to others should be left unsaid and unexpressed. If necessary to bring up an unpleasant subject it should be couched in such terms that the feelings of
The person addressed are not hurt and worded as gently and pleasantly as possible.”
