Deano,

Can you clarify which words are considered profane?

I mean, there are words that I would consider profane, if my children said them (my children are ten and seven), but aren't considered profane by the layman. There are words that are not considered profane by the FCC. Then there is the context that they are used in.

What is your (or the mod teams), definition of profanity?

This is the definition put forth by the FCC:
Quote:
The FCC has defined profanity as “including language so grossly offensive to members of the public who actually hear it as to amount to a nuisance.”
Taken from the FCC website;
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/obscene.html

I found the list of words considered to be obscene by the FCC, but choose not to reference or quote them, because of potential repercussions!

What is your take on this Deano?

Wayne
