> At the risk of being called a snob..I will offer my opinion. I think it > is too bad people choose to swear instead of trying to be more > articulate. I actually enjoy someone who can creatively express > themselves in frustrating or difficult situations without swearing...or > anytime. > It's language....and language is often a means of expressing ones self. Sometimes an explative is desired by the speaker...sometimes is a product of one's environment. Personally I can turn it on and off like a faucet. I don't use certain language when speaking to my parents, but I also don't discuss certain topics with them either. 'Foul' is a relative term just as beautiful. I don't care how someone speaks to me. I've heard priests swear...I've heard CEO's swear...even the Prime Minster...who gives a shit ?? I know I picked up my language mostly from the neighborhood...my parents have NEVER swore in front of me...not even the word 'shit'. My dad was in the navy for a decade or two so I'm sure he knows the words...
