I almost never do; not because of any religious reasons, but I find it gives off the impression that you're more intelligent.
Often people who do swear a lot do so because they lack a good vocabulary.

I don't really know how often most people swear. I do it more than some people I'm around and less than other people I'm around. Typically I have to get pretty angry or frustrated before I do it. I certainly don't do it as a part of normal speech unless I'm being humorous or really wanting emphasize a fucking point (like that).

I wonder what words you use on those rare occasions.  I certainly have never seen you doing that rare thing here so I assume you probably swear when you are in company of your close friends. @ OP - Occasionally. Most of the times when in company of friends and not against people I don't like. |

Probably the same as the average person. Mostly only when I am angry, frustrated, annoyed or as a knee-jerk reaction to pain.
I rarely swear when just having normal conversations.

I never do it in written form and really dislike it when I see written cuss words.
Occasionally I will do it in oral form, when I get physically hurt or irritated when something is not going right. I try especially to avoid blasphemy.

Not so much, but a lot more when discussing the US president.

Often people who do swear a lot do so because they lack a good vocabulary. I tend to agree. When I was at school my English teacher once said that people who swear a lot often do so because they don't have the vocabulary to express themselves any other way. And that stuck with me. Also if every second word that comes out of someones mouth is a swear word it loses all impact. But if you rarely swear then the times that you do swear it suddenly becomes much more effective/shocking. |

RICHARD STEPHENS FEBRUARY 2017 The use of obscene or taboo language - or swearing, as it’s more commonly known - is often seen as a sign that the speaker lacks vocabulary, cannot express themselves in a less offensive way, or even lacks intelligence. Studies have shown, however, that swearing may in fact display a more, rather than less, intelligent use of language. While swearing can become a habit, we choose to swear in different contexts and for different purposes: for linguistic effect, to convey emotion, for laughs, or perhaps even to be deliberately nasty. Psychologists interested in when and why people swear try to look past the stereotype that swearing is the language of the unintelligent and illiterate. In fact, a study by psychologists from Marist College found links between how fluent a person is in the English language and how fluent they are in swearing. The former - verbal fluency - can be measured by asking volunteers to think of as many words beginning with a certain letter of the alphabet as they can in 1 minute. People with greater language skills can generally think of more examples in the allotted time. Based on this approach, the researchers created the swearing fluency task. This task requires volunteers to list as many different swear words as they can think of in 1 minute. By comparing scores from both the verbal and swearing fluency tasks, it was found that the people who scored highest on the verbal fluency test also tended to do best on the swearing fluency task. The weakest in the verbal fluency test also did poorly on the swearing fluency task. What this correlation suggests is that swearing isn’t simply a sign of language poverty, lack of general vocabulary, or low intelligence. Instead, swearing appears to be a feature of language that an articulate speaker can use in order to communicate with maximum effectiveness. And actually, some uses of swearing go beyond just communication. |

I just cancelled their science card. You should know that there was a movement to make it easier to use obscene language in order to make it easier for people to complain about abuse. Oprah Winfrey was not the only champion of that movement. Actually there is more to it than that. In order to be successful in catching abuse it is necessary to develop forensic skills. There is just making accusations and there is making accusations meaningful. They are not the same thing. You should also know that many people are able to call themselves "scientists" lately who are just "plainspoken," which although often admirable requires no talent. |

You should know that calling people like me "idiots" gets motherfuckers like you blocked. You just proved that people who use obscenity are not really very articulate. Your threats do not establish that people who use obscenity are more intelligent. Try now if you like. Or block me and pretend whatever you like. |
