It seems that people either completely refuse to use curse words, for fear that their uttering these sounds will open a giant hole in the Earth or something... or otherwise, they use them so often that the words lose all meaning.
I like to pepper my speech with curse words every now and then, though I know when it's appropriate and when it's not, and it often seems that I'm the odd one out.
So, what's the reasoning behind the people that refuse to ever use curse words? And behind those that use them at least twice per sentence? Your thoughts on the matter?
If English isn't your native language, does the use of profanity or vulgar words seem to fit into these two extremes in your native language?
