I was taught very young how to curse by my drunken sailor mouth mother (no offense to her) who ironically is a middle school English teacher. She even taught the history of most of them. Then I met my wife, who was raised in a very different household. She considered it offensive when I cursed around her and disrespectful if I cursed at her.

I didn’t understand it at first and only revised my language to her. After a while, I found that cursing was pretty useless. I just about never curse anymore. I have a sufficient vocabulary and don’t need to curse to express myself. No offense, but I think it makes people sound like uneducated trash.
