While I still disagree with Charles that "talk causes action," sometimes
talk is not really just talk but a kind of action in itself and can be
prohibited when that action is harmful, such as intimidation. Using words
for a purpose other than expression is profanity. This is the only true
meaning of "profanity." When the terms are defined correctly, "speech" is
protected, "profanity" is not.
