Cursing is a topic that comes up fairly often in the BS section. There are several differing opinions on the subject.

When I was a boy, I cussed because it was forbidden. In the Navy, I did it because it was almost required. Later, I did because every one else did. After a while, it occurred to me that cursing is a kind of emotional punctuation. When I cursed continually I sounded to myself like a third rate Nigerian scam letter; all caps and cluttered with exclamation marks. The satisfaction I used to find in cursing wasn't there any more. So I stopped. More or less. Today when I curse, people notice. It means something.

Do you have a personal policy on cursing? If so, how did you arrive at it?
