- I deliver the Word of God before a whole congregation every Sunday as a lector/commentator/choir member so my mouth should be a clean vessel for it.. I think that should pretty much make up for the whole issue but then I also consider more things, such as:

- It’s so unbecoming for a REAL woman

- It could only make me sound as if I live in a slum area, raised by ill-bred folks, under-educated to even learn good manners

- Whatever word I speak will reflect my character and my parents who raised me well, sent me to good schools, and who are both servants of the church as well (especially my dad who spent 5 years in the seminary)

But then, of course, we all have different views about this.. and I stand for mine c”,)
