I see it as a useful part of the language, which he is denying himself because he has trouble regulating it. I am more concerned about his inability to regulate it.

The only problem I have with swearing is that people have stopped getting creative with it. I can only bear people saying "Fuck you" or "Fuck off" so many times before I'm just fed up with it.

As for swearing in public, hell, I'd walk up to the Pope himself and say, "Shit, it's fucking nice to meet you, you old sonofabitch!"

It's useful when I smash a finger in a door or cut myself or something, and I'll use it then. What I'm trying not to do is toss profanity into discussions here when it really is unnecessary.
