Obviously, somebody ran to Teacher rather than face you head-on!

As to swearing, I do get annoyed with it sometimes. But mostly it's the monotonous use of a single word in ordinary conversation without reason, force or meaning: "I went down the fucking shop yesterday to get some fucking bread for my fucking lunch and they didn't have fucking panini so I had to get fucking ciabatta." All in a perfectly calm, matter of fact, tone without a shred of real annoyance. That's not swearing, that's either mental laziness or a verbal tic and it's just tedious.

I don't swear so very much because it amuses me (and amusement is never very far from the surface with me), to find more picturesque ways to express myself. I find 'lackwit' more fun than 'fuckwit', for instance, and have been known to remark of someone that "Clearly their parents had only a passing acquaintance."

But that's me, it's part of my style. Other folk do things differently and should be allowed to. Censorship in this context, especially by prudish Colonials, is entirely unacceptable.
