Language evolves and it's healthy that it does so.  Nothing stays the same forever and even glancing at a British newspaper from 30 years ago reveals a stangely archaic style of writing.  I personally like the fact that 'bastard' was much more offensive 300 years ago than the infamous C word.  So much so that in good old Londinium there was a street called Grope Cunt Lane frequented by prostitutes.
