Great Presidents and Ignite Christian Academy

Gaining a Cleaner Mouth in 2010
"If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man" (James 3:2).
One of the advantages of living more than six decades is that a person gains a greater perspective of time. Changes in usage and word meaning that have taken place in American English over the last sixty years are especially fascinating to me. However, one trend especially disturbs me, and that is the general coarsening of language used among professing Christians, unfortunately including distance learning students and adults associated with Ignite Christian Academy®.
