Hello, remember me?
This is a perfect example of what happens when you try to implement such a broad-sweeping subjective rule which involves making the umpire the Language Police!
What would an umpire know how I speak to my mother or how she speaks to me?
To laden the umpire with such a task is ludicrous. If the league doesn't care for some of the language and wants to dictate to their guest the type of world they prefer, have THEM place a rep at each game to enforce it, 'cause it isn't going to be my job as the umpire.
