There's a difference between 'vulgar' and 'obscene' or 'profane'. Vulgar
referred more to unrefined or common language (like any work not in latin).
The latter two are more obvious. People now, however, seem to be using the
vulgarity option as if it were a synonym, which isn't right.
Otherwise, I suppose, we'll all have to start writing in Ye Olde English. We
must be true to the semi-medieval noble context, after all.
