I wouldn't use foul language anywhere or anytime else, as long as she promised never to get angry for swearing on the baseball field. It worked out well. There is a time and a place for everything. <a>port o potty</a> Growing up I made a deal with my mother.

It's teaching his kid about appropriateness in language -- that it's okay to use "stadium language" in this one particular controlled environment, but not elsewhere. It's an extension of what we all do; we're all instinctively aware that different contexts call for different usage. To use the example here: it would not be inappropriate to use the c-word at a game, whereas it would utterly inappropriate if you speaking to your grandmother. (Of course, that depends on your grandmother.) The different attitudes towards taboo language in different places is really interesting. For instance, "damn" sounds very mild to my ears -- certainly not a word that would require a subsequent apology. And it always strikes me as strange when Marge admonishes Bart for using the word. But then, I am from Ireland, where we generally think differently on the subject. As the Irish comedian Tommy Tiernan said: "F*** is my chisel!" By the way, I'm really enjoying the blog.
