Washington's Order Against Profanity

The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice hitherto little known in our American Army is growing into fashion. He hopes that the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it and that both they and the men will reflect that we can little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our army if we insult it by our impiety and folly. Added to this it is a vice so mean and low without any temptation that every man of sense and character detests and despises it.

Thanks for pointing this out.

In general it is good to refrain from things with bad connotations. I already pointed out how even proposing to “f-ck” with one’s own wife would have a different connotation than proposing to have sex. The word has been dragged through the gutter so much that it carries bad connotations.

Anyhow, I think, lesson learned, we should pass forward from such situations. We don’t need to wallow in them. God forgives.
