Offline, do you curse? Do you curse a lot or a little? Does cursing offend you?

I don't curse often. Only in a dire situation or when I feel really strongly about something. But I never swear on purpose and I try and keep my language clean. A moderate amount of cursing doesn't offend me as every one slips up and curses now and then however there is no justification for people who find a need to swear in every second sentence.

Yes, I agree, I find it annoying when people swear in every sentence. Can't they think of a different word to use? Is their language really so limited??

Hi. If you can not help it, it is ok but only from time to time and not frequently. As much as possible, I do not want to utter such word even if I get so mad. And yes, I do not say'that' but instead 's o n of a b i t c h '. I only swore once and that was when I was really, really, really mad with my husband.So mad and so hurt. But, under any circumstances, I don't think it is ok for both men and women to swear. I mean, no one has the right to say anything as such to anyone even if this is seem so ordinary and so common. I often find it brow lifting to hear a woman swear and my blood temperature rising when it is a man cursing.

Every now and then I do, the only ones that really offend me is the F word and the MF words. Don't ask me why they seem worse than any others. I try to watch what I say especially when kids around too b/c they pick up everything. Most ppl I know realize how I feel about swearing and they try to keep it clean.

I really don't like swearing (as we call it here in the UK). Of course, sometimes I do swear a little bit, but not very often. I hate it when my kids swear too. Of course some words are mild and I don't mind them, but I really hate the strong swear words.

I curse sometimes when I don't find the right words to express myself it has been something that I have picked up from the American Pie movies that I watched since High School. But as I have read more and more I have found synonyms to express myself.
