> Well, it's a "I know it when I see it" thing. Not really helpful as a rubric honestly. If you can decide one day a word isn't a swear word but the next maybe you feel like it, seems like you're more interested in crafting and following arbitrary rules than any benefit gained from such rules. > However, I'm also trying to remove the use of non-vulgar words where others would use swear words, such as just saying, "I hate that thing," instead of "I hate that bloomin' thing."

You can still be expressive and have a deep appreciation and use of diction, with out arbitrary limits to your vocabulary. If your saying you are attempting to alter your own perspective by adjusting your language to better match your perspective, I agree with the practice, just unclear how a loosely and arbitrary group of words are harming you in material way.
