What's the deal with swearing?

I avoid that kind of people. I'm an old school woman, I like to live in peace. I don't like to deal with that kind of people. Usually, no matter you're the right one, you will never win to argue with them

My percentage would be much lower than that. If you are not a person who is used to coarse language, then those who use it constantly can be intimidating. Some people use it because that is their habit, It is how they talk, naturally . They think nothing of it. Some people use it to try to sound cool or intimidating. Those types of people are actually trying to assault you with their words, and it can work. I find it tiresome, because there are so many other, more descriptive words one can use.

This is quite simply indoctrination. We all learn a basic command of the language from our parents and others around us, after which we go to school and learn a better command of our native tongue. Despite being given a deeper understanding of the language, we still retain the early knowledge of local terminology, which we continue to encounter as we grow up. This makes the local terminology a part of us to some degree. I am perfectly capable of holding a quality conservation, but when speaking emotionally or not paying adequate attention to my grammar, I still use local phrases and it is obvious that I was born in Bolton. Sadly the use of profanities has grown rapidly over previous decades and it is now not uncommon in my area to hear young parents using atrocious language to their young children or toddlers. This level of indoctrination not only instils this language into the child, but assures them that the use of this language is perfectly acceptable. I still cringe when I hear parents and their children using such language in conversation with each other because it was totally taboo in my childhood, but amazingly nobody seems to notice these days.

Apparently I don't like swearing in public, but I do curse a lot when I'm on my own. It's not good to hear people who swear just for the heck of it. My ears still "ache" whenever I hear curse words but my mouth runs freely when I am alone.

I don't like hearing a person so fond of swearing . I even would tell my husband to stop saying a seemingly vulgar word when he is telling a story . But to him , it's not cursing , but just part of him being a man . Though still , i want him to stop saying that vulgar word .

Stick in the mud! Only joking. I think a well placed swear word can add something to a sentence that other words can't. As long as they aren't over-used. Over use does diminish their effectiveness!

There's a time and place for it - but I hear it all too often as many people seem to use it even though it's completely not necessary. I can't tell you how many times I'd go to the store and hear adults and teens alike (and shockingly some children) swear with every other word they speak - and it doesn't matter to them that there are young ears around that hear this. It's part of everyday normal language to them maybe - which is terrible. I can tolerate foul language to a point - but I don't want to hear it excessively as a filler in one's vocabulary!!

I am not a big fan of those using cuss words or swear words. I guess it is more of a habit. some people do that it to a whole new level calling all the gods down to Earth. I guess culture and up bringing plays a huge part. In our home we could never dare to use such words or speak with disrespect.

I only swear if asked by authorities. I do not see the reason to swear if not requested.

I prefer not to hear swearing but it is so common here with a lot of people.

I can go days without swearing. But if I'm driving I might not make it to my destination without swearing. Unless I eat something, then I don't care how annoying other drivers are being.

I really don't like when most of the conversation could be geared on beneficial character growth topics and swearing clouds most of it. Or sometimes even all of it.

I don't mind some swearing, but I don't like it when it's a large portion of what a person has to say. I swear some, but not all that much.
