RE: Abrahams cussing
Interesing points, Mike. Also, many military commanders were quite blue with their language.
Quote:The widespread use of profanity is much more prevalent in the 20th century than it was in the 19th I'm sorry, but I can't agree with that. It wasn't as exposed, certainly, but to say that it was more prevalent now would also have to mean it was less prevalent in everyday conversation then, and that just isn't true. My files on Enoch and preaching in the 19th century are boxed up now, but one of the biggest complaints written about by the clergy was the vulgar language thrown about in society, among numerous other sins. Does its use add anything to the movie? Doubtful, but I also hold with my original point, i.e., this is much ado about nothing. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
