Swearing.. yea or nay?

I suppose it's worth qualifying by saying that, like MissingMinnesota, I don''t consider 'hell', 'damn' etc to be problematic/offensive/really 'swearing'. Some people do, I know - perhaps more so in the US than here? I had a teacher who once told the class that "drat" was as emphatic an expletive as any lady ought to use! Even my tolerance levels go a little further than that! :laugh:0

I am not someone who swears alot, unless I am all riled up about something. But, never in front of parents/aunts/uncles----although they all do, I just don't! But, not offended by those that do--if in moderation. I was married to a sailor, so I did hear some "interesting" rants, but don't think I learned any new words.
That being said, the guy I am with now is not someone who swears alot either. Last weekend, we were at a family bday party and my cousin has a mouth worse than the worst you have heard, and he did comment later on it. He said to me......"She knows why she is single, right? With that mouth, she will be single for life!" Kind of interesting.........0
