I've read this one several times now, and it still makes no sense to me.

In my experience, children are the part of the population that most often
use what English-speaking people call "four-letter-words". They usually
learn them from their peers.

Do you really think they need an OS kernel message to learn those words?
Most probably know them even before they can read.
