John - one cannot "debase" the English language. It's a bastardisation of many different languages and dialects and is constantly evolving.

Yes there has been change in attitude to the use of inflamitory language during the last 35 years.

There has also been a change in attitudes to women, racism and ideas of class. Thanks God for that.

I try not to swear in front of children or others who I might easily offend but I am guilty of letting rip on occaison and don't beat myself up about it.

Let's move on and talk about something else. I bought a new hat today ....
