Hard to have the high road with the mouth of a sailor

I think this kind of puritism is not good, at all. It honestly feels really elitist whenever people bring up the way of speaking, instead of the things being said. A person from medevial britain could look at your language and say it's the "mouth of a sailor". Different people speak differently. obv a college student would speak different from like a mid thirties software employee right? I hope you can look past it and give me your thoughts on the actual story, which i felt was really really crazy

Usually ad-hominem fallacies have a little more padding than that.
