I don't swear at all, I don't see a point in it.

Of course when emotions are running higher you tend to want to use harsher words.
But people who say it casually every other word because they can't think of any other word are not using creative language. |

I see a reason people use it when they are angry to express their feelings yeah but I know people that swear in every sentence during a normal conversation and it's annoying.

I studied Linguistics and all the lecturers swore, they're just words people decided were bad and it using them means nothing as to how creative you are with language.

Most people who swear began at a much younger age than I am.

I find if you only swear occasionally it has more effect.

I rarely swear but will do as the study suggests. A lady nearly swerved into me the other day and i exclaimed "Holy Feck" much to the surprise of 2 of the small LTs
