The Slate TV Club has been discussing a scene on "The Wire" in which one of the editors scolds another for cursing in the newsroom. David Plotz and Jeff Goldberg are skeptical, but a few journalists emailed them to say it's happened. "Let's see if Romenesko turns up more," writes Plotz. Anyone have no-swearing stories to share? || Read the letters. || Bill Wyman: An argument for not swearing in the newsroom. || John Robinson: "I've asked reporters to tone down their language." || Earlier: Jill Geisler addressed this issue in a 2002 Poynter Online column.
