They may experiment with profanity. But the fact is that they DO 
respect me too much to do it in my presence, and guess what....then 
they have the ABILITY to turn it OFF..unlike some young people I have 
seen lately who have lost jobs because they cannot seem to turn off 
their gutter mouths in a job interview or on the job.
