Thanks for that info LRM. I had read about something very different about obscene language usage but it was definately a psychpatholical condition which was not the sort of information which a lay person could grasp easily, so I can't bring any to mind.

What I can remember is that there have been cases of people sectioned under a mental health act for some sort sort of anti social behaviour involving obscene language. It must be very distressing for people like SBM and her children who are witnessing this condition in this young woman.
