AND THEY DON'T EVEN MENTION ERIC CARTMAN: The Washington Post would like to keep you posted on the fact that kids are swearing a lot. Apparently, children do not know what constitutes profanity and what does not. Do we need to be teaching George Carlin's "Seven Dirty Words" monologue to our children to clear this up? It's certainly an option.

Also amusing is the sidebar on "Tips To Tame Your Tongue," suggesting such tips as "Make your point politely," and "Work at it." One tip is "use alternative words," as other authorities on swearing among children have suggested, though with a much jauntier beat.
