Weird that swearing is still seen as taboo - guess it depends on location and sensibilities, but dropped the C word several times in front of my manager and never batted an eyelid.
Think the impact tends to be overstated somewhat.
- aethertron 10y agoWhether it's said out loud, or put in writing makes a big difference. If spoken, the speaker can first check to see if the immediate context is appropriate. Then it's just a memory. In writing, like on the web, there's more persistence. Sweary words online can be brought into inappropriate situations later. This can reflect badly on the author, in the eyes of some.
