I'd like to know this too, Kathy.  I'm hearing a *lot* of dissatisfation 
from certain quarters (I won't name names, but you know who you are ;) ).   
I'm wondering then, why read the books at all, if you don't like them?

I'm an adult, and I say things like bloody wicked, codswollop, (plus a whole 
lot more,  especially some days) pretty much any early 18th-Century Royal 
Navy slang, mixed with some nifty Shakespearean terms.  The nice thing is, 
you can be mad as heck, and nobody really catches it...nice when you've got 
to watch you're language, lest a visitor walk in.
