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.
