@cocktailpeanuts Although I have different perspective on usage of curse words in an article but I do acknowledge and respect your opinion. I have learned here that the curse word here can be taken for a different meaning(disrespect of the reader, childish, comedic) while it was intended to emphasize the points and making key takeaway memorable for the readers(e.g. "fucking talk to the users"). People have confirmed to my point of view as well as your POV. Considering your feedback I have written the article again and removed the words like "fucking" and "kick-ass". To emphasize the keywords I have marked them bold. New link: https://medium.com/@pradeep_io/7-important-lessons-for-a-designer-834227a7f42c https://medium.com/@pradeep_io/7-important-lessons-for-a-des... I appreciate your time giving me feedback. My guess on why we have different opinions is the cultural differences we have. Slang probably is a lot affected by the same. Would love to hear your further views.

This is not a cultural thing, it's a language thing. And it's not an opinion. You're just using English wrong. And like I said this is all about nuance. If you disagree with me it's your loss, because you'll keep using it wrong and keep wondering why people get pissed off. "Fucking talk to the users" works because "fucking" is used to embellish "talk to the users". It's emphasizing how important the author feels it is to talk to the users. "Fucking advice" doesn't work because "Fucking" does not embellish advice. You're not emphasizing any important point you're trying to make. You're just adding "Fucking" in front of "advice". it can at best be taken as a piece of advice on how to fuck. I don't think I need advice on how to fuck. I think I'm good enough. Be humble when someone points out your error when you're not good at something. Also another rule of thumb is: good content will stand out if it's to stand out, regardless of click-fucking-baity headlines. Just write a fucking good content with a real substance and you're set to go.
