I love to talk to people, don't you?
Sometimes people get excited and are happy to insert a wealth of profanity into their every sentence. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) You can't just stick you fingers in your ears or slide a bar of soap into their mouth. How can you tactfully say, " I like talking with you, but I don't appreciate the choice of language"? Help me with this sensitive matter. KT |

I think you already fiqured it out. That's about as tactful and truthful as you can get. I had and "ex" employee who insisted on using that kinda language anytime there was a female around. Problem was, those females were my customers. I wasn't very tactful. I told him (in front of one of them) to clean it up or hit the road. He was gone ten minutes later, and good riddance!!!! Chances are, he's been talking like that all his life and learned it from his dad. If he can't accept a little contructive critisim, and your honesty in wanting to protect the friendship, He's prolly not that good a friend anyway. Now, I'm gonna go throw some rocks at the prick running up and down the street at 40mph on his 4 wheeler with open pipes!
