I interpreted everything. Happily, those were extremely rare occurrences.Reba, I have a question, a little off topic. When you were interpreting and cursing/ swearing/ profanity was used, what did you do? I'm sure there are signs for such, did you have to use them?
It's ironic that cursing/swearing/profanity is called "adult" language because it's used mostly in a non-adult manner. That is, it's used when people lose control of themselves, or lack sufficient vocabulary to express themselves, or to shock or entertain others--all expressions of immaturity or lack of education--not "adult" behaviors.
It's a shame that such coarse language is becoming more acceptable in the general public. People complain about second-hand smoke and auto pollution but seem comfortable with communication pollution dirtying their environment.
My 9 year old knows all the profanity words but since we don't use them in the house, he doesn't use them in his daily vocabulary.
I did not use profanity words around my child but I am sure she heard them from older kids in school.
That and from tv and Internet. Some from us, adult but we teach him manners instead of saying , "no, u can't use them because they are bad words." We just focus on teaching him saying pls and thank you and be as much as role models as we can. If he catches us saying a profanity, we apologize to him. I did that with my daughter and she is almost 18 now and not big on using curse words herself.
