You're obviously not a Victorian. Whorehouses often had signs banning
the use of profanity on the premises,
Hollywood and History mention this phenomenon. Hair is almost
always wrong,
again most commonly upon the female lead. The reasons for this are
also
similiar to the reasons given for costumes, including the insistance
of the
Actors themselves.

Not my period either, but I find it amusing they've had to use intensive
laser scanning to detect something I (and I suppose most others here) could
