Poet Matthew Duffy aka Thick Richard makes the case for the history of swearing to be taught in British schools. In his new show Swear School, which will premiere at the Waterside Arts Centre in Sale, Mr Duffy presents an A to Z of swearing. He told Âé¶¹Éç Entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson that "to be offended by swearing is a type of snobbishness". (Photo: A fake swearing button on a keyboard Credit: Thinkstock)
