What do others think about this?
I like profanity.
I have a great vocabulary and I was reading beyond the 12th grade level in the 6th grade, but I often curse like a sailor.
There's just no substitute for a good, adult curse word when you've just hurt yourself, for example.
They are supposed to be shocking, and provide a lot of great emphasis and force to one's speech if used well.
I rarely use them here, though.

Is it proper to object when it happens?
