Achenbach and Reilly

Both essays were written because of the increase in the use of vulgar words. Achenbach's essay claims that the 'F' word should only be used when the person has reached the appropriate age, therefore making it special, and still vulgar, not just another word. Reilly's essay claims that the use of curse words should be limited, even though he realizes it is almost impossible. Achenbach seems to advocate the use of the 'F' word, but Reilly seems to believe that curse should cease to a minimum. I buy Reilly's perspective, because almost everywhere you go, you will hear an explitive. Don't get me wrong, I cuss quite a bit, but I think that cussing starts to get trashy after a certain extent.
