Swearing
35 Answers
Why can't some people on AB make their point, comment or argument without resorting to contrived swear words, going to the trouble of substituting letters for numbers, leaving gaps and other ways of avoid the automatic censor?
Do they swear so much when they are talking? Do people really say 'Oh, My God!' or FFS as often as they use it here?
Do they talk like that no matter whom they are addressing?
There are far more effective ways of communicating your point than resorting to bad language.

What is 'bad' language. It must differ from one person to another. Sometimes it is just so necessary to have a good swear!! ;o)

I used to wonder about the use of unneccesary swearing myself, I tend not to swear unless I am particularly angry and never at a child or a person, generally more of an exclamation rather than targetting an individual.
people i have known in the past have used the F word in general conversation ( I have to go to the F****** bank today) which I find bizarre but I do think to these people the harshness of it has been lost through being continually repeated in everyday conversation.

I NEVER swear in real life and I don't like it when others do. Don't mind bl**dy, sh*t. But fcuking and especially cnut isn't appreciated in my reality. I am guilty of ** starring words out to express here as in real life, facial expression, tone of voice etc can demonstrate the feel of the words more than text itself. I've also notice here that some people don't get irony either so we have to spell it out with feeling which is usually **** I guess.
