Little Willie questioned his grandmother with an appearance of great seriousness:

"Ain't Rotterdam the name of a city, Gramma?"

"Don't say 'ain't', Willie," the old lady corrected. "Yes, Rotterdam is the name of a city. Why?"

"It ain't swearin' to say it, is it Gramma?"

"Don't say 'ain't', Willie. No, it isn't swearing to say Rotterdam. Why?"

"Cause if sister keeps on eatin' so much candy, she'll Rotterdam head off."

Let's be neither uptight nor naive; the word 'damned' is not offensive to anyone but the super uptight and/or crazy conservative religious folk

Like I've always told my kids....cursing is fine so long as it's not directed at a person. I don't think the fish in this instance is offended, so let's not get worked up about a harmless word. Children aren't delicate flowers...they'll survive hearing the word 'damned' I assure you

diddly-doo, that is true

Of course children use this damned site.

do you really think children use this site?

Please replace "damned" with a more youth-appropriate word. Thanks.

you've missed the apostrophe in the word 'mans'
