I'm in my 20s and everybody I know regularly and casually uses profanity, even the R-rated stuff. Older people of HN: is this anecdotally something that decreases with age, or is our generation genuinely more profane?
I would think having kids/friends who have kids would cut it down.
- cafard 7y agoDoes it decrease with age? Hard to say. At over 60, I think at times I'd do well to moderate my language. But is true that what once seemed liberating can become tedious. The word that perks up the message when used occasionally bores when it appears in every other sentence. Yes, in general one tries to keep language G-rated around children.
