Shiloh has "dammit" in it. My Brother Sam is Dead has several "damns" in it.
If the kids know what "effing" means, they've heard the actual word, no
doubt. I think it is ludicrous to think we can keep off the shelves everything
that someone MIGHT be offended by.
That's just my opinion, of course. I'm a meanie; we have so few copies of
the HP books that I don't let anyone check out 2, 3, or 4 until I know they've
read the previous ones. It will be the same with 5. Chances are, the kids
that could read HP4 have read far worse than "effing."
Good luck!
