I agree. There was a case where a member used to word rape, but they had absolutely no idea that it was a nasty word because of the casual way people use it on this forum. Because she was foreign and only just realised the seriousness of what she said, she apologized. But I think even if people don't agree with the moral aspect of using the word rape, I still thing it is important that is not misused because we do have a few foreign people who will not understand the serious nature of the word, and after all this is a language forum, we want to help people with their English, not distort it.
