What are your own views on profanity, how do you perceive it to be perceived in America, and what about both in relation to the profanity that can be found in other cultures, as far as you can understand it all?

I don't really mind profanity. It only bothers me when people in public places, such as at the market or restaurant are really loud and cursing. I'm not offended, it's just rude.

Because they are loud or because they are cursing? What if they [m]uttered a profanity like, say, "fuck you!" in her habitual tone of voice:

I have my limits with swearing.

If it's occasional in a conversation I don't mind it, but when it's every second or third word it tends to grate on me and just shows complete ignorance and a poor vocabulary.

I don't like it in public (occasional or not) - if I'm at a friend's place or have friends at mine it's okay because it's just our little group and it's how we talk, but if at a restaurant or supermarket etc. where other people (especially children) may hear it I get uncomfortable.

They are only words, but most of the time they aren't necessary.

Are you resurrecting all your old threads in an idle moment before the arrival of 2014.

As I posted today elsewhere, I was looking for a thread about Dr. Putnam that for some reason I was not able to located, and now won't care to go find...

Swearing really does translate badly. They say you only really know a language when you can easily understand humour in that language. But you can almost never learn to be shocked by a swear in a new language, I think. I do remember a professor explaining to me how a language's swear words gave insight into the neuroses of its people. So in English we swear about sex, while the French swear about religion.
