How much do you swear? Every other word?

When I was a teenager, my every other word would be a swear word. Then I got baptised when I was 18, I just stopped. Because I'm a teacher now, I only swear in my head. How much do you swear?

I swear more than I like. But really, I don't swear too much. I guess that depends on your perspective. :) To some people, every now and then is still bad. But to me, every other words is very bad too. I think swearing sometimes takes away from your ability to properly express one's self. Why not think of other words that would proper display how one feels. BUT...at the same time, swearing also shows the passion behind words and is a good way just to make you feel better. When I was younger, I swore a lot! But then I had children and had to learn to curb my tongue. Once I started reading more novels, I found I was fascinated with how they expressed themselves so eloquently without swearing that much. :) And then I have my wonder person for a best friend that just amazes me each day with how well she words her feelings without swearing that much. So, I aspire to be half as good as her with her wonderful way with words. :) Which, she thinks she swears a lot...but truly, she has an amazing way of expressing herself. :)

I swear on occasion but it is usually when I am extremly angry. I have always felt like everyone was looking at me if I swore. Now when I say the "F" word which is very rarely my husband knows that I am mad and he better run. At least that's what he tells me.

I very rarely swear but sometimes I do. It seems and I don't know why I swear in front of two people but not others. I wish I knew why that was though.

Well, I swear quite a lot. The thing is I actually swear a lot less than several people here on campus. It is every other word that you hear out of their mouth tat's a swear.

I started swearing when I was in college... when I was young I never know any bad words nor hear anything from my parents and siblings. So basically I learned it from my friends. It is hard not to swear especially if I am super MAD but as much as possible I say it when I am alone. I don't want my family to hear me swear... one time my brother hear me say the 'F' word, I feel so bad about it afterwards.
