My parents never minded me cursing, and occasionally a curse would slip out even at age 10 They only one they really minded was F**k... which I never let slip.
you miss understood. he said we were using the wrong word. cursing is not the same as cussing. and what we are discussing is cussing not cursing. confusing because "damit to hell" is a curs that became a cuss. one of the reasons we call it cursing sometimes in staid of cussing.
