> your insistence that cussing is "normal speech". For courteous people, it's not.

How odd. I've been surrounded by courteous people all my life who cuss up a blue streak on occaision. Perhaps in your mind "courteous" and "stiff" are the same.

On OCCASION. I also cuss ON OCCASION. And I usually apologize. You argue that NOT cussing HIDES your true feelings - I argue that it DISPLAYS self-control, which a useful capability in ANY society.

Or do you think it's impossible to communicate in a controlled fashion?
