Yes, language conveys ideas, and values. The words you use tell others who and what you are, what you believe in, and what you value. You're always broadcasting messages about yourself with what you say, along with your appearance and actions. Don't be surprised or cry foul if others view you negatively for your choice of expression.

If you don't agree, that's fine. But just spend 30 miniutes browsing threads at DU and you'll probably see what I mean.

"Profanity is the common crutch of the conversational cripple." -- David Keuck
