WASHINGTON -- Imagine a world where it would be O.K. to use particularly foul language in an e-mail sent from your smartphone, but where you would be fined if you uttered the same words during a phone call. That is in essence the world that television and radio broadcasters continue to occupy today, after the Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously refused to wade into the dispute over whether the First Amendment should apply to 21st-century communications in the same, compartmentalized way that the court commanded in the 20th.

Madonna earned praise early on for her halftime performance at the Super Bowl on Sunday night, but it was her guest star M.I.A. who may have stolen the headlines from her by making an obscene gesture during the show.

At the end of her verse, M.I.A. stopped just short of singing a vulgar lyric and extended her middle finger to the camera.

As a student and a teacher of language, I appreciate curses and other vulgarities: they can add color and emphasis to our vernacular. But like all stylistic flourishes, the audience has to be taken into consideration. So here's the current quandary. The distinction between where it is and is not appropriate to curse - and I am not just talking about calling upon the wrath of God here, but of the full canon of vulgarities and obscenities - has nearly vanished. There are apparently no rules. No curse-free zones (except maybe church, and one can only hope that is the case). People curse without consideration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
