I do at school, but not at home. Even then, generally only milder ones like Bollocks (which I say comically: bollix!), *****, and Feck.

I do but I don't do it anywhere near as often as my uncle. I used to think I was on par with him and then when we were out fishing a fish snapped his line. It was at that point that a counter appeared in my brain measuring how many times he said son of a ***** in a minute. I got like a 4 for an average reading.

At home- alone or with friends: Every or every other sentence.

At home- parents- About every 10th sentence.

At school- around friends: Every 3rd-5th depending on the friends.

At school- around teachers: Hardly ever. Usually just when I don't think they can hear me. Rarely do I swear intentionally talking to a teacher.

I have no remorse for my swearing.

I swear way too much. I don't usually really notice it, but occasionally when I start thinking back what I've said I have a sudden realisation that half of my sentence consisted of swear words. Only with friends though, I've learned to keep my tongue in check in places where it's necessary.

Yes, but I try to vary it with an amusing tone. My newest is "bollocks!"

I don't swear at all. Its not that I think its completely wrong its just not my natural reaction. Its only a word what matters is what you mean by it.

I do it all the time, although I have to constantly remind myself of the whole "time and place" rule. I find myself biting my tongue a lot in school.

Yes. And it annoys me when people get upset over curse words. They are just words, and if they make you so upset maybe you shouldn't care what people say or do so much blah blah blah blah

I really need to get off my soapbox.

It depends who I'm talking to, when I'm alone I tend to swear a lot when something goes wrong. When I'm with friends I don't swear all that much (and they always comment on this) I swear a bit when I'm with my Dad, and never at all other times.
My sister and I were just taught not to swear and I never really picked it up, although I swear a massive amount when I'm playing my PS2 and DS.

I swear a lot when telling a joke, or a story with my mates or dad. When I'm driving, I swear alot. Otherwise, not so much.

Yes.

I see no point in not to, they are just words that are frowned upon =p

I do in a manageable amount. It's not the spice of my sentences or anything.

Swearing is the same. It portrays an inability to articulate yourself properly. Now, before the quotes pour in saying 'I can articulate myself just fine and I swear!', then allow me to point out the qualifier word 'portrays'. I know there are plenty of articulate people who swear plenty, but it's hard to take them as serious, intelligent people when their vocabulary seems to be restricted to 4 letter words.
actually that's is very wrong, you can swear and be intelligent and have a well constructed argument that contains swear words. i mean i could easily interject the word fuck into this sentence and it would still be a reasonably well constructed sentence and would also give credence to my sentence. it's not the word it's how you use the word, i mean i could use big $20 words and still sound like a total asshole but i could also swear like a sailor and sound very reasonable

the only reason to say stuff like "well you aren't smart enough" is to try and show some intellectual superiority over the other person. it usually doesn't work too well

I'm glad humans aren't telepathic. I swear like a sailor, but that only constitutes about 1/4 of the swearing I do in my mind at the same time.
