Maybe so, but that's more the problem of the receiver if you ask me.

So you're saying that there is no such thing as a "proper" way to speak? There should be no socially acceptable standards for "polite" conversation?

I have always held to the notion that cursing is the ignorant mans way of expressing himself. Those who have a larger vocabulary can sufficiently convey their feelings without resorting to crude language.

I have taught this to my kids and have always led by example. At school they are both persecuted because they refuse to curse. Amazing how their peers feel the need to not only curse but to want everyone around them to be just as foul mouthed as they are.
