Thanks for the shout-out regarding my swearing story on MSNBC.com today. I thought the different classifications of swear words / different cultural taboos were fascinating, as well. Also thought your 4-year-old’s wise take on ‘trampdom’ too adorable for words. By a strange coincidence, I actually received some emails from readers who thought I was a conmplete tramp (or was it sewer trash?) for even touching on such a horrific topic. I can imagine what they’d say about breast-feeding! ; )

All the breast … er best,
