Thank you, Sam, for mentioning that. It talks there about young people dying because of Nivul Peh. I think it is very important for people to realize that, in light of the recent happennings.
Taking-a-Break, that is really great that you try not to say other, less harsh words as well. Something I try for myself and those I can influence, is not to use fill in words at all. Not to say, I have to write this stupid essay. That word, ‘stupid’, is there as an anger word. It doesn’t mean or convey anything, and would better be left out.
As ZeesKite mentioned, you are how you speak. Anyone who worked on refining their speach can attest that you come out feeling clean and different.
