No convent needed, just probably didn't go to public school. For me, those were not words I heard until I was at least in high school if not older. In my case, I was homeschooled most of my schooling and the majority of the kids I was around were fellow homeschoolers or kids on my block. Of course the internet also wasn't a thing back then, but you did say in school. I most certainly didn't hear stuff like that from my mom or younger siblings. And I doubt I heard any of that in the private schools I attended for three years and I sure know I didn't hear stuff like that in the colleges I attended, so for me, I've probably never heard any of that sort of language in school, probably not even once and I most certainly have never been in a convent.

That said, I'm probably the staff member who is the least strict on language. I think we should be careful what we say and I definitely don't like that sort of language and wouldn't use it myself, but I think that the reactions of others are the punishments we should get for them most of the time, though there are exceptions usually exemplified by our trolls. And I do believe in following the rules.

And then there's my literal mind. Once I know the definition of a swear word and understand its origins I can't help but think that the person using them is usually being ridiculous. I get why this thing or that is an insult, but most of the time they make no sense when you take them literal and I so like to take things literal. It's not that I don't understand the figurative. It's just that the literal is so much more fun, especially when everyone else is using the figurative.

As for the NSFW scenes, I do not read those, so I wouldn't know much about them. They aren't worth my diamonds. Obviously they are worth some people's diamonds, many based on the fact that they keep making them, but not mine, really not mine. And your right there is an irony there, but the thing is just because it is there doesn't mean that there aren't people who shouldn't read those coming here and it doesn't mean that just because a person probably has heard a certain type of language that they should hear it. Common does not equal proper or right. Common can be proper and it can be right, but just because it is common doesn't make it either of those things.
