Dear Editor,

I would like to bring to the fore or put into perspective something which seems to have permeated almost every stratum of our society. I refer to the use of ‘cuss’ words, and more particularly the ‘eff’ word, as part of everyday conversation by almost every man, woman and child, regardless of age.

Unfortunately, as is manifested in the general use of the language, for the most part the use of the ‘cuss’ words is grammatically and syntactically incorrect. The words are just ‘dropped’ anywhere in a sentence or phrase……
