If after asking an employee to cut down the language, and they don't the next step would be to speak to your direct manager or HR representative. The last thing your company wants is a lawsuit for a unfriendly working environment.

Depending on what type of business you work in, you could suggest to your boss that using profanity sets a highly unprofessional example in the workplace, and they should do what they can to eliminate it. But you should also be realistic that the boss may continue to allow this, and, unless you decide to look for another job elsewhere, you will just have to tune it out.

Speaking as a boss who just let someone go under similar circumstances.
If you have asked repeatedly and they still haven't stoped go to your boss, (and remind him/her that he/she cannot give your name when talking to the offending employee) if nothing changes go to her/his superior if there is one. If your boss doesn't have a superior/or if the superior does not get results file a complaint with the local EEOC or OSHA both agencies have the ability to look into harassment complaints.
No matter what anyone tells you this is a form of harassment, and you can-not be disciplined or terminated for filing a complaint.

I doubt that you can stop it.
However, if approached in a spirit of good will, you might get your co-workers to agree to drop a quarter in a jar everytime they curse and then the jar is given to a good cause (children's hospital for example) when it gets full.
Not only will this be helpful to the charity, but it might make some of your co-workers more aware of how often (and how rediculously) their cursing occurs. Good luck.

No one should have to be subjected to vulgar language. Voice your concerns to managment.
There is no need for profanity anywhere and just shows a lack of intelligence and maturity.

Roxie, contact your HR manager. I believe it is policy that anything that a co-worker deems offensive is against policy. We have staff meetings once in a while and that is one of the topics. Believe it or not, I think it falls in the catagory of harrassement in the work place or creating a " hostile" work environment.

at the same time as people keep asking me those questions and that i do not prefer to respond to I say that is transferring alongside. in the adventure that they keep prying I say that there is fairly no longer some thing to discuss. basically known wedding ceremony planning. basically keep giving imprecise solutions and she'll get the hint or you'll fulfill her through basically giving her some little answer.

Its a form of sexual harrassment just like Judy said.
However, be prepared to be ostracized for your views, sorry. Your boss will have no right or business saying who complained, so make sure HE KNOWS THAT when you complain!

Threaten a civil suit. It's America right?

If you place a complaint about it and nothing happens there is really not much you can do without jepordizing your position.
