Vulgarity.
We
have
adopted
the
foregoing
Paragraph
because
we
approve
of
some
of
its
sentiments,
but
chiefly
because
it
shows
that
persons
who
object
to
affectation
may
go
to
the
other
extreme--vulgarity.
It
is
vulgar,
we
think,
to
call
even
the
most
affected
people
"jackanapes,
who
screw
their
words
into
all
manner
of
diabolical
shapes."
Avoid
vulgarity
in
manner,
in
speech,
and
in
correspondence.
To
conduct
yourself
vulgarly
is
to
offer
offence
to
those
who
are
around
you;
to
bring
upon
yourself
the
condemnation
of
persons
of
good
taste;
and
to
incur
the
penalty
of
exclusion
from
good
society.
Thus,
cast
among
the
vulgar,
you
become
the
victim
of
your
own
error.
1995.
Avoid
Swearing.
An
oath
is
but
the
wrath
of
a
perturbed
spirit.
It
is
mean.
A
man
of
high
moral
standing
would
rather
treat
an
offence
with
contempt
than
show
his
indignation
by
an
oath.
It
is
vulgar,
altogether
too
low
for
a
decent
man.
It
is
cowardly,
implying
a
fear
either
of
not
being
believed
or
obeyed.
It
is
ungentlemanly,
A
gentleman,
according
to
Webster,
is
a
genteel
man--well-bred,
refined.
It
is
indecent,
offensive
to
delicacy,
and
extremely
unfit
for
human
ears.
It
is
foolish.
"Want
of
decency
is
want
of
sense."
It
is
abusive--to
the
mind
which
conceives
the
oath,
to
the
tongue
which
utters
it,
and
to
the
person
at
whom
it
is
aimed.
It
is
venomous,
showing
a
man's
heart
to
be
as
a
nest
of
vipers;
and
every
time
he
swears,
one
of
them
starts
out
from
his
head.
It
is
contemptible,
forfeiting
the
respect
of
all
the
wise
and
good.
It
is
wicked,
violating
the
Divine
law,
and
provoking
the
displeasure
of
Him
who
will
not
hold
him
guiltless
who
takes
His
name
in
vain.
