    "It's the internet. You are allowed to swear."

    I think people only say that though when people swear but censor their swearing i.e. "f*ck", which, imo, is very silly to do, like, no more half measures, walter

      I honestly don't care when people censor their swears. Honestly I think it can add something to written text depending on the context. It's like an exclamation point in the middle of a word.

      What I cannot stand is people saying "it's ok to swear in the internet". No fucking shit. It's also ok not to swear on the internet you f*cking baby.

        I think it's funny when someone censors a word that isn't normally considered a swear for comedic effect, like "Fr*nch".

        that's your opinion and I disagree because I do care because I think it's dumb because I disrespect the entire notion of "swear words" as sacrosanct, inviolable constructs

        I lost a job because I was swearing as an expression of my very human emotions of frustration and someone who was entirely unrelated to this, dozens of feet away, only overhearing these words, was so offended they reported me, and that is a culture I think must be erased from the earth (AND CENSORING SWEARS ONLINE IS A GATEWAY)

        Is this an American thing? I've never seen the level of concern about 'swears' or 'cussing'

        I assume it's not a Br*tish thing

          I'm British and I swear like a sailor. I just don't care if someone chooses not to or chooses to use asterisks when they type it.
