I won't say anything else about yankees. I was being tongue-in-cheek.
Remember what the Apostle Paul told the Colossians, "Let your conversation always be with grace seasoned with salt. And what Paul told young Timothy: "But shun vain and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness..." I have fallen short in time's past. I can get carried away with humor.
I have failed abysmally in time's past in trying to correct someone who neglected his conduct of speech. We should be careful how we rebuke others as well.
More importantly, it's good to realize that there are more dimensions to maintaining sound conduct of speech than just abstaining from cursing. Persons can abstain from cursing, and yet still be prone to offending others, gossip, or otherwise idle, unprofitable chatter. It's important not to let one's guard off on these matters.
My foolishness in time's past with speech has pierced me with many sorrows.
