I totally agree with this! Not that I never swear, not that I never use the F word ... not proud of it, but hey, I do sometimes. However, when you stand in line at a grocery store for five minutes and hear the F-bomb at least 100 times, that's absurd. I know people who literally cannot complete one sentence without using some variation of that word multiple times.

My son swears like a sailor around his friends, I'm sure. But he never swears around me, or his grandma. As it should be.

I have no problem saying to people in public, "Excuse me. That is very inappropriate language to use in a store. It offends me. Please don't swear like that in public." I have done it too many times to count. And the response is always the same ... they blink, look shocked, look terribly embarrassed, and say, "I'm so sorry, Ma'am." And instantly stop swearing. Try it.
