While I like the concept of the VocabCafe books, I would have a problem with those things, as well. While I realize that the context of the words you deemed inappropriate was the direct quotes of a teenager or a teenager's choice of words (screenname), the words are, unfortunately, a stark contrast to the intelligent use of language - the SAT vocabulary words - that this book is promoting. I am happy to learn that the books are being updated and will have to inquire as to if they are available yet. I just learned about the books on College Prep Genius website.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2344790022398880455.post-7602213826588696062012-03-24T10:09:31.412-04:002012-03-24T10:09:31.412-04:00I appreciate this review so much.

I hope the updated books Josh mentioned will be out soon enough for my oldest student....if not, we will forgo. Thank you for an honest, conservative review!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08185078418377325084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2344790022398880455.post-20673940808689561212012-01-16T19:20:08.592-05:002012-01-16T19:20:08.592-05:00Thank you so much for taking the time to review th...Thank you so much for taking the time to review the VocabCafe Books! Your honest opinion was more than helpful. <br /><br />We are in the final stages of updating all the books. The newer versions will not contain words like s*ck or freaking. In fact, the screen name 2Hot4U has been changed to Joygrrl2000. <br /><br />We have also incorporated the disclaimer in the front of all the books, just to encourage parents to read everything for themselves first.<br /><br />Our goal is to make the best product possible. Thank you for helping us improve!Josh Burkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721601935794968070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2344790022398880455.post-54073911874236922442011-11-20T21:48:51.597-05:002011-11-20T21:48:51.597-05:00Wow!

Yeah, I wouldn't have been happy about that language either, and can't think how it could possibly be NECESSARY to use such language to teach SAT vocabulary, how sad!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16356828915552029222noreply@blogger.com
