Directive re:foul language in the workplace.

It has been brought to my attention that some individuals
throughout the company have been using foul language during the course of normal
conversation with their co-workers. Due to complaints received from some
employees who may be easily offended, this type of language will be no
longer be tolerated. We do however, realize the critical
importanceof being able to accurately express your feelings when
communicating with co-workers.
