I swear more often online than I do in real life. IRL, I try to cut the habit, unless I'm talking to like, close friends or something. Online I swear pretty casually, but I know how often I should swear and if I'm going a bit too far (not that I ever really swear too consecutively, anyway).

I use swears just like any other word in my vocabulary. Why would I say something like "shoot" or "frick" when "muk" and "psyduck" work just fine? Using nicer, more "acceptable" words in place of swears makes the entire sentence feel forced and stupid, especially when it's painfully obvious what the swear being replaced is.

im not going to be that asshole who's just going to swear up and down regardless of what people feel
if you dont like me swearing when im talking to you then fair enough i wont
but i'll probably also talk to you a lot less because i hate having to actively force myself to not say certain words
try not using the word "and" for a week and you might get me
doesn't seem like it'd be that big but when you hit somewhere when the word "and" would be perfect it's a bit of a stumbling block

I never swear irl. Well actually I used to when I was younger, but as time's went on I've grown more mature and I don't swear anymore. Although even so I'm still fine if other people swear. I have a friend that hates when people swear and like whines when they do, but I don't see the problem with that. To each his own right?

I swear a lot when I'm with my family or my friends, it just makes the atmosphere more informal and I like that. I can control myself in formal settings, but I'd rather not have to if possible.

Online, I find it pretty difficult to type as I talk unless it's an IRC - I keep reading over what I've typed when posting here and it seems wrong to say things inappropriate.

I swear a lot, but never in front of my family since they don't like it.

I try not to used such words in mixed company if I can help it, since I won't know who would be offended by their usage and I'd rather not do that, but if I'm alone or around people who don't mind swearing theeeen

Yeah, out come the words. And what words I use are proportionate to how mad I am, by that I mean things like the f-word which usually I'll just use occasionally for emphasis, but if I'm upset then ohhh will I start saying a bunch of them.

So yeah, when it comes to swearing in general, I usually don't mind it, either from me or from anybody else.

Yeah I cuss a lot, and it's a terrible habit. I do often try to keep it limited on this forum though, but if it's on somewhere crazy like Tumblr then yeah I love to throw the F-bombs and who knows what.

I don't swear online or in real life. I don't particularly mind it. Other people swearing it's actually pretty funny to me because I automatically replace the curse word with the definition of the word.

F*** this piece of S***

the absolute worst thing in the world is when people drop the word 'psyducking' before every other word in their sentences and it just sounds painfully forced and contrived. like, I get it. you are edgy & subversive. like, I get it if you're just casually talking and it slips out, but when you're actually describing something and you keep throwing the word in when there isn't anything to emphasize it's just kind of, like, lazy, I think. that being said I swear a lot. but not in an annoying way, or at least I hope not.

I don't deliberately swear both irl and online. It's the result of how I've been raised and also because of my personal convictions. The very rare times that I do will be when I am either extremely surprised, frustrated, or annoyed. If I do let slip a word or two, I can imagine the very surprised and disapproving looks on the faces of others. They are used to me not saying those kinds of things. I don't mind when others swear though; I've become desensitized to it.

I don't swear that much, but I do swear sometimes. Its an extreme turnoff for me if I hearsomeone swear IRL, but here, I don't mind that much.
