@jinx: So you're saying you would discipline your kids more on the intent or usage of words more than for the words themselves? This sounds like more of a high-level concept with actual relevance in the real world, as it is built in that they have to understand the context of the situation. I think part of this is just being willing to spend the time with your kids to help them understand this stuff, rather than plop them in front of the TV. Speaking of which, the characters on some kids shows say some horrific stuff - without using "bad words".
