AIBU in thinking it's time I stopped f***ing swearing?

[birdsnotbees]

I swear a lot. Unthinkingly, mostly. At work, with the kids (tho I try not to), just... all the time. I don't know why I do it and the other week I resolved not to, but within a few hours had sworn again. I'm getting old, I have kids, I run my own business, and I have three degrees - is it not time I stopped f*ing swearing? Is it not just really inappropriate? Even my brother asked me to tone it down the other day, and he used to swear like a trooper...

See, you're moving onto asterisking - well done!

Nah I'm not worried about people thinking I'm thick - I like talking about complex things with the odd swear word thrown in; it confounds expectations. It's more the fact that there are occasions when I shouldn't... and I do.

Agent: I'm liking 'eccentric genius'... Moonlight: consider the asterisks part of my rehabilitation..

my Dad was the most eloquent, well read person I've ever met
He wasn't averse to the odd swearathon. sometimes there's just no substitute IMO
