The reason I'm bugged that the editing of Huckleberry Finn is we shouldn't remove controversy from children. We should teach them about it.
So that they learn context.
Manners too.
While I use the full word when I'm making a point, I would not use it to someone's face to describe them. That's rude.
But we should not shy away from using the words in question when talking about language and what's appropriate or not.
For a simple lesson just look up how arse and ass have phased in and out of being the polite phrasing of the other.
