Without any form of language, any cooperation and communication would be almost, if not totally impossible (World Book Encyclopedia 62). This significance of language is what draws scientists to study origin, differences and connections between languages. Constant change of today's languages is what amazes linguists even more.

She has studied language and explored the "socio-linguistics" culture in which profanity and vulgarisms have flourished. She sees extreme profanity and vulgarity as the speech equivalent of violent action. "Aren't emotions really important in human behavior?" she said. "So these are extreme emotional outlets, and they are important and they do make a difference, because people need that once in a while. The Victorian Age suppressed anger, and I don't think that that was especially good for us, so we need a release."

- 3306: Margaret Sanger
- ... Sanger pioneered the birth control movement in the United States at a time when Victorian hypocrisy and oppression through moral standards were at their highest.
